All hazards: 3 Marks

Workers in the wool industry face occupational hazard by inhaling anthracis bacillus. This got a nickname as a wool sorter’s disease because it infects people who sorted wool. Inactive anthrax spores live naturally in soil and are carried in the wool of sheep.
Many people suffer from pneumonia, blood infection, and even death.
