It can cause three forms of disease in people. They are</p> <ul> <li> Cutaneous, which affects the skin. People with cuts or open sores can get it if they touch the bacteria. </li> <li> Inhalation, which affects the lungs. You can get this if you breathe in spores of the bacteria. </li> <li> Gastrointestinal, which affects the digestive system.
