They are rapidly destroyed in the circulation, and are not inoculable.

Pasteur supposes that anthrax-infected food is only injurious when there are inoculable sores in the mouth or pharynx, but it seems as if in that case the disease would be first shown at these points and in the nearest lymphatic glands rather than in the bowels, the rule for the inoculated anthrax being to develop first in the tissues and thence to reach the blood-vessels through the lymphatics.

This form is said not to be inoculable.

In these instances it seems fair to assume that the previous unhealthy condition was not due to the direct transfer of an inoculable matter from patient to patient by the attendants, but by something residing in the air of the vacated apartment.
