Perhaps this is a good time to mention the inhalation of CS/MSM/02 with
conventional nebulizer or, el-cheapo airbrush from Harbor Freight coupled
with standard small Presto brand O2 regulator.

Probably "ciprofloxacin" (Cipro), a fluoroquinlone.  Actually, the treatment
for _cutaneous_ anthrax is either doxycycline (a tetracycline-like drug) or
cipro for 60 days, rather than the "mere" 30 they are suggesting.

In Canada, 60 days of cipro for 2 people is $1300.  60 days of doxy for 2
people is under $200.

This presumes you have _cutaneous_ anthrax.  Apparently, pulmonary anthrax
requires IV treatment, and it's almost too late once you have symptoms.

[Apparently, public health here in Montreal has been getting a lot of such
questions.  In case anyone is wondering, No, there is no commercial anthrax
vaccine available here in Canada either!  ;-)]
