Biological weapons The first type of Weapons of Mass Destruction to speak about will be the: Biological weapons. But at first what are Biological weapons? The Biological weapons: Is a virus, bacterium, fungus or parasite that can be used purposely to spread a disease. These diseases can range from a common flu to a serious disease causing death. The Biological weapons also affect other living organisms.
With the right set of conditions, necrotizing fasciitis is a real risk and can cause severe damage. t is most commonly transferred by respiratory droplets or direct contact with secretions of someone carrying Strep A. For instance, a person carrying a Strep A bacteria might not even show symptoms or become ill at all. They cough or sneeze, another person picks up the bacteria on their hands or directly at the point of a wound and the infection occurs. The NF patient is not likely to be contagious, and inanimate objects are unlikely to be points of
9. The problem with constructing biological weapons is that the result is uncertain. People could produce a disease so destructive that it could wipe out the entire human race. 10. Bioterrorism is more of a threat because it cannot be traced.
This bacterium is also a facultative anaerobe meaning it can grow with or without oxygen. The bacterium is found most commonly in animals such as rats, fleas, lice, chipmunks, etc. Y. pestis is most commonly transferred through bites from affected animals, direct contact with infected tissue or body fluids, or inhaling infected droplets. The best way to avoid the plague would be to stay away for any animal that has potential for having Yersinia pestis If proper safety measures are not taken and a human ends up with the plague they would have general symptoms such as inflamed lymph nodes, fever, chills, muscle aches, headache and weakness. If left untreated the symptoms could worsen and you could be left with septicemia, food poisoning like symptoms, bleeding from under the skin, in the urine, from the mouth and nose, shock, kidney failure, breathing problems.
Antimalarial drugs, which are used to treat malaria can also help control lupus but can come with the side effects of upset stomach and uncommonly damage to the retina. Corticosteroids can counter the inflammation of lupus but produce long term side effects like weight gain, easy bruising, thinning bones, high blood pressure, diabetes and increased risk of infection. Immunosuppressant’s suppress the immune system but
In today’s society “We have a modern arsenal of chemical weapons to fight off these invaders and we use them lavishly” (D.Suzuki). All this fear and disgust is caused by the way we, as children, have been conditioned by society. David believes this is slowly destroying our planet, and is the cause of hundreds of
After reading One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, it is impossible for one to hold the same meanings for the words sane, insane, health, and sick. It is obvious that extreme caution should be taken before labeling a person as one of these things too quickly. What is seen from the outside is certainly not always reality. In the novel, most of the sane persons could easily be called the opposite, and vice versa. Moral of the story: Dont judge a book by its
These side effects, while perhaps annoying or inconvenient, are nothing compared to the effects of West Nile Virus. Therefore, it recommends itself for use in the eradication of the mosquito population in Genericville (ATSDR, 2003, p. 1.1). When exposed to large doses, Malathion is potentially deadly. However, with education the risks will be kept at a minimum. Public service announcements, newspaper notices, mass mailing and town hall meetings will be employed to teach the citizens about this hazardous but necessary chemical.
The varicella vaccine is known to cause the serious side effects in humans with immunodeficiencies, these side effects include infection after vaccination, pneumonia, encephalitis, and meningitis (Mercola, 2011). Equally important, the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine may cause seizures and short term joint
However, this assumption is far from the truth. It is the lack of knowledge that kills more than the gun itself. Children are not given the knowledge they need about gun safety and that is a leading component as to why so many accidents occur. Just like any other dangerous subject such as alcohol, drugs, and sex, shouldn’t firearm safety be taken seriously and be taught
