Anthrax disease is caused by a bacterium that occurs naturally in soil
Five people have been hospitalized in Hungary after the discovery of the deadly anthrax disease in samples of beef, reports say.
The five were admitted to hospital over concerns that they may have been infected by the disease.
Anthrax was discovered in frozen meat from two animals that had been slaughtered illegally, the Hungarian health agency says.
The disease is caused by a bacterium that occurs naturally in soil.
Symptoms of anthrax exposure include skin ulcers, nausea, vomiting and fever. Left untreated, it can lead to death.
The animals in the latest outbreak were reportedly slaughtered at a farm in Tiszafured, a town 99 miles east of Hungarian capital, Budapest.
