Is it flu, or is it Anthrax

Early anthrax symptoms and the flu are very similar. One suggestion that the person has the flu, and not anthrax, is the production of sputum. According to one expert,

"Anthrax doesn't cause sputum. Although people may be short of breath and they might have a dry cough, they are not producing anything in the lungs.''

- Dr. Meryl Nass
