What Is A Real Threat of Biological Warfare Agents? Today American people already have been introduced to different type of terrorism. Even though the biological warfare agents concept is a new for Americans, it is exist on the military ammunition of many countries for several decades. At the present time as many as seventeen nations have the capability to load biological warfare agents into weapons. It is worth to note that Anthrax spores are not the only choice for 'germ warfare'. More than 40 types of other bacteriological agents such as Plague, Small Pox, and Ebola Virus can be used. That is why it is hard to predict which bacterial agent terrorists may use as a weapon of mass destruction. Biological warfare agents are odorless, tasteless, and when dispersed in an aerosol cloud, are invisible to the human eye because the particle size of the aerosol is extremely small (1 to 5 microns). Biological weapons are hundreds to thousands of times more potent than the most lethal chemical weapon. How cynical it might sound, the real threat of biological warfare agents is more long run illnesses and panic, rather than mass killing. This is one of the reasons why biological weapons are more likely to be used by terrorists, but not in military operations.  To acquire inhalation form of a disease (highly lethal) it is necessary to maintain a high concentration of deadly bacteria in the exposed area. Usually, highly contaminated area is localized around epicenter (place from where biological warfare agents has been originated), because it is difficult to sustain high concentration of biological agents in the air.The nature of the biological warfare agents is that it kills people only in epicenter, while creates mass chronicle diseases in contaminated area. The skin becomes the major root of bacterial invasion in large contaminated area. Wearing gas masks protects from the inhalation form of bacterial invasion (???), but exposed skin becomes a major threat. Taking into consideration that the skin is a largest organ of a human body, with an enormous ability to absorb bioactive substances from the surrounding environment, it is very important to protect the skin from bacteria (germs) and their spores. Because of the unpredictability of type of biological agent, which can be used by terrorist, and the fact of its immediate un-recognition it is necessary to have a useful product which can protect civilians from bacterial invasion. BioNova, Inc. is proud to announce development of a new personal care product against biological warfare, a superior spray - Skin BioDefender™. |
