The threat of bioterrorism seems to be a new phenomenon, but in reality bioterrorism has existed hundreds years dating back to the hurling the bodies of plague victims at the defenders during siege of Kaffa in 1346. In part because the threats are bacterial agents (i.e. Anthrax, Plague, or Tularemia) and viral agents (i.e. Small Pox, Ebola, Marbur, Lassa) with unfamilure and scary sounding names, the meer mention of bioterrorism causes fear in the general population. But we know that bacteria are a key ingredient in yogurt and we are exposed to mild viruses on a daily basis. So we need to research these threats so they are not scary but are instead we understand them as the biological agents that they are.
