are one of the worlds most deadly weapons. Some of the bacteria and gases can kill you within

Biological weapons are not new; in fact the Russian researchers have been studding

biological weapons since World War I. They were fascinated with the nerve gases used and the

fatalities of the enemy. The only problem with nerve gas was that when the winds shifted the

gases would turn back and sink into the trench from which they came. This relates to the

fascination and link Iraq has to and with biological weapons. The Russians are allegedly selling

and producing weapons to and for Iraq.

Saddam Hussein is said to have missiles that include the following; Anthrax, a bacteria with spore-forming rods; lives in the soil. After becoming infected with the spores, by inhalation or touch the spore produces a toxin in the body. The incubation period for inhalational Anthrax is one to six days. One billionth of a gram of Anthrax is lethal. The symptoms are flu-like, cough, high fever and fatigue. Death can occur within 24-36 hours after the sever symptoms. Th

The fatal quantum is ten milligrams that is just a droplet. The indications are increased salivation, runny nose, nausea, coughing and headache. The only prevention is a gas mask and protective clothing.

VX is toxic through inhalation and the pores of animals skin. VX is quick moving and almost undetectable, and it can disperse through water and air. It bars the transmission of impulses along the central nervous system, inducing convulsions, respiratory paralysis, and fatality.

Botulinum poison is another bacterium that grows only in the absence of oxygen. It is usually inhaled by the victim. Botulinum neurotoxins generally kill by the relatively delayed onset of respiratory failure. The victim may not show signs of the disease for a day or three. The toxin blocks biochemical action in the nerves that activate the muscle necessary for respiration, causing suffocation. The symptoms include blurred vision, dizziness and dry throat. To prevent this from occurring a gas mask and protective clothing should be worn. Treatment includes antitoxins injected almost immediately after exposure to a lethal dose of toxin. The lethal amount is one billionth of a gram. Botulinum has a sho
