Microbial weapons...toxins

Microbial weapons

Perhaps the most insidious weapons are biological weapons, microbial weapons

Let us take, for example, anthrax, which is a disease that usually affects livestock, and may be transmitted to humans. It has a bacillus-shaped bacterium.

If this bacterium was sprayed by an airplane in the sky over a country and spread there, it would have extremely dangerous consequences.
One millionth of a gram of these germs, inhaled by a person, causes anthrax. Its symptoms are first suspected as cold symptoms. It is fatal if you do not find quick and urgent treatment. It cannot be so quickly, when the disease is unknown and the sick are thousands upon thousands.
The goal of biological weapons is to kill men. In cities, he kills living people, men, women, and children, while preserving homes and real estate. It is more tempting for the invading enemy, especially the Israelis, who demand land, real estate, and furniture without people.

Such as anthrax, yellow fever, and the plague,
And chlorination, and others.

We know that there are vaccines for many of these diseases and biocides that cure them, but the suddenness of the invasion may make loyal people unable to fulfill their duty.

Biological weapons are weapons not to kill, but to incapacitate. Then the incapacitated person regains his ability after a while
Examples of this are Venezuelan horse encephalopathy.

This virus has an epidemic that spreads among people, and its death rate is approximately 100% of those infected.

This leads us to say that the distinction between deadly and miraculous biological weapons is inconclusive. There is something that kills in a miraculous weapon.

- Toxins:

There remains a type of substance that is neither living, biological, like an organism that reproduces, nor is it chemical, synthetic, like gases that suffocate the chest or gases that blister the skin.

Rather, they are substances such as scorpion venom or snake venom.
He is of biological origin, he is Scorpio. But it is
It does not reproduce with bacteria.
However, it is not a chemical substance created in laboratories.

Among these toxins are toxins secreted by types of bacteria that mix with food, and poisoning incidents that occur at schools and parties are reported about them.

An example of this poison is known as Botulin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostriduim Cotulenum and is very toxic.

If it is used, it is in the form of bombs that are stuffed with it, then they fall on the soldiers from an airplane or the like, and they explode and the poison spreads from them. It does not penetrate the skin, so a mask is sufficient to protect against it. Soldiers may be immunized with anti-vaccines whenever possible.

However, these poisons may be used by civilian men when they infiltrate enemy countries and contaminate the water and food sources in the cities with them. Thus, they are more for sabotage and spreading chaos among the population than for outright war.

- The possibility of a chemical or biological war:

It is a remote possibility that these wars would break out between a country with an advanced civilization and another like it. Everyone prepared for it, attacking and defending. But the possibility of it occurring is high if one of the parties is so backward that it cannot defend itself. Or if the other civilized party knows nothing of the values ​​of life except victory, he will ride every mount and commit all sins for its sake.
