This condition occurs due to the pleural surfaces rubbing together.

Anthrax
Give this one a go later!
, An infection caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. Although it's most
commonly found in grazing animals (such as sheep, pigs, cattle, horses, and
goats), anthrax can sometimes infect humans. In the environment, anthrax can
form spores (a version of the germ in a hard shell) that can live in the soil for
years. There are three main types of anthrax: cutaneous (skin) anthrax, which
can occur if someone handles contaminated animals or animal products
(especially animal hides) while they have a cut, abrasion, or rash on the skin;
intestinal anthrax, which can occur if someone eats contaminated meat; and
pulmonary (inhaled) anthrax, which is extremely rare but can occur if someone
breathes anthrax spores, usually found in the dust kicked up by animals.
Symptoms vary depending on the type of anthrax. Pulmonary anthrax usually
begins with flu-like symptoms but, if untreated, can rapidly turn into severe
pneumonia (an inflammation of the lungs).
