Anthrax is a bug that has got into batches of heroin in Scotland and England.

Anthrax is causing life-threatening infections.

You can get anthrax if you inject, smoke or inhale your heroin.

Typical signs of anthrax can include:

• lots of swelling and redness where you injected

• a fever and headache, or

• feeling ill and finding it hard to breathe.

If you think you have anthrax, immediately go to your nearest hospital emergency department and tell them.
