Biological Weapon Toxicity

Biological Weapon Toxicity

Biological weapons can be used in bioterrorism, biowarfare, or biocrime and include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins; some agents are lethal, and others cause illness or incapacitation. Directing biological weapons at the human population, crops, and livestock often involves dispersing them as aerosols for easier spread. People or vectors can spread agents through ingestion, direct contact, or other methods. This activity reviews the most common agents and the evaluation and treatment of their resulting illnesses.
