Anthrax related to contaminated heroin supplies 2012

The recent death of a confirmed case of anthrax in an IDU in Blackpool (August 2012) and a confirmed case recently in Lanarkshire  follows five cases reported in the previous two months in Europe – three in Germany, one in Denmark and one in France. It is thought that these cases are due to exposure to heroin contaminated with Bacillus anthracis.

 The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) have updated their joint rapid risk assesment which concludes that further cases among IDU may be identified in the near future.
It is important that those services in contact with drug users mainatin awareness of anthrax, and also of other severe infections caused by spore-forming bacteria in those at risk through injecting drug use. The PHPU recently wrote (25th July) to all GPs and relevant colleagues highlighting the need to be alert to the possibility of anthrax infection in IDU. The Scottish Drugs Forum has published revised resources for drug workers and drug users relating to anthrax infection : Anthrax and Heroin Users    Anthrax leaflet    Anthrax poster.

      Great! Put some flesh eating bacteria in it too. Cant stand smack heads. Cant see whats enjoyable about puking up and falling asleep. Just the smell of it makes me want to throw up. Charming how the disabled get low rate DLA, while junky scum gets full rate DLA to buy it, and get free needles & methadone too, and can get a bus pass on full rate DLA so they can travel round selling it. My town is overrun with thieving zombie smack heads, needles all over the place. The army brings it in from Afghanistan, the police distribute it – Iv seen them do it. ATOS healthcare, the poppy field protecting army and the UK gov are terrorist scum. Cant wait till I get the new ”ESA50” form to fill in. Theyre probably saving me till last.
