Research for a book, human body

[Ukyuu]

Hello,

 

I am actually writing a book in which Anthrax is used as a biological weapon, so I try to get the reality straight to build up the story on solid grounds. I'm trying to determine how it is contracted, and if it can be contracted without one's knowledge of it. What bodily symptoms does one develops along the different stages (if there's any?) of this disease?

 

Thank you for anyone who'll take the time to answer this,

 

Djenny Floro.
