Keratoconus and anthrax?

Postby Matt_Offord » Wed 08 Jun 2016 6:25 pm

This might be clutching at straws but.... I have just read that the anthrax toxin is a collagein fact it could be used to treat the over-expression of collagen leading to tumours. Could anthrax immunisation trigger KC? If anyone is working in this area, I would be very grateful for an opinion. I was immunized against anthrax several months before developing KC.
Cheers
