Anthrax is not a mold, it is a bacteria.

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by spores of the bacterium, Bacillus
anthracis. The B. anthracis spores are highly resistant to inactivation and may be
present in the soil, for example, for decades, occasionally infecting grazing
animals that ingest the spores. Goats, sheep and cattle are examples of animals that
may become infected. Human infection may occur by three routes of exposure to
anthrax spores: cutaneous (through the skin), gastrointestinal (by ingestion), and
pulmonary (inhalation). In North America, human cases of anthrax are infrequent.
However, the United States military views anthrax as a potential biological
terrorism threat because the spores are so resistant to destruction and can be
easily spread by release in the air. The development of anthrax as a biological
weapon by several foreign countries has been documented.

The MDF-500 product is not an antimicrobial and is not EPA registered as an
antimicrobial. IT does not prevent the growth of microbes. The product was
designed to destroy the spores that can lay dormant for years. THe manufacture does
not make any claims that it prevents or that it is an antimicrobial. The
distributors of the product make many claims that go well beyond what the product
can actually do. Please call the manufacturer of the product and not the
distributor or salesman and ask them directly. THe answers are far different than
what their distributors salesman are selling.

The product does a great job for what it was intended for, but not for mold
prevention.

See the attached page to directly form the manufacturer. It specifically says the
product is registered as a antibacterial disinfectant.
