Biological and Chemical WeaponsChaos, fear and death. These three words are the first thoughts of most people when they see the destructive offspring of biological or chemical weapons. These weapons of mass destruction (also known as weapons of mass destruction) are actually considered the deadliest weapons of all time not only to humans but also to other animals and plants. Biological and chemical warfare has become a grave threat not only to the safety of the American people, but also to those on the front lines around the world, but to resolve them what the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention they could do is carry out mandatory background checks on anyone purchasing additives found in biochemical weapons, mandatory safety drills, and tighten bans on the use of these weapons in warfare. What is biological warfare? Biological warfare is a way to cause chaos, fear, pain and suffering on the enemy through the use of natural toxins. Biological warfare has been around for a very long time, since the first act of chemical warfare in 1000 BC, and even after the American Revolutionary War. But the first recorded events date back to the times of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire of Julius Caesar, for example, Mark Antony hurled barrels of poisonous snakes at enemy ships in naval battles, Roman/Greek officers also poisoned the rivers that flowed into the cities they were invading, in the 14th and 15th centuries, catapulting smallpox-infected corpses and still carrying them, and during the American Revolutionary War British officers distributed smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans. What is a biological weapon? A bioweapon is the use of toxins to cause disease in humans (even a… middle of paper… very painfully (of course). Cyanide works quickly, but only large amounts are deadly. Poisoning by cyanide can be treated with inhaled amyl nitrate, intravenous sodium nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate. Then there is the most commonly known nerve agent, Sarin, which is a clear, colorless, tasteless, and ultimately odorless part of. an inhalation hazard. The effects of Sarin poisoning include a runny nose, tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting, reflexive bowel movements and urination, involuntary muscle movements, intense headaches, confusion and tiredness to breathe and die. Antidotes for Sarin when affected are atropine and pralidoxmine. Eyes and skin should be washed thoroughly if exposed.
