They are more likely in persons with acute respiratory infections or otherwise debilitated. Broad spectrum antibiotics should not be taken without clear presence of resistant bacterial infections.
Anthrax has little or no history of such resistance.
Here are my unpolished lecture notes on anthrax if you would like to know more. I collected these hail stones following a hailstorm on 6 April 2001 in SW Ohio. I have been unable to find any record of such stones, nor explanation of how they may have formed. See my hypothesis below the picture. If the stones are being carried upward near a windshear zone of up and down drafts, they would spin.
