Microorganisms are germs that cause diseases. Toxins are poisons produced by plants, animals, or microorganisms. Biological agents, including toxins, can cause death and disease. It is not necessary for biological agents to kill to be effective. Their purpose may only be to reduce the ability of our forces to fight.
Sunlight reduces the effects of biological agents.
Based on this, the most likely time for a conventional biological attack is in the evening and early morning hours. Some toxins are not sensitive to environmental factors and could be employed in any type of environment. The best defense is to observe preventive measures such as keeping immunizations up to date, maintaining personal hygiene, eating and resting regularly, and providing rodent and insect control. Keep cuts or scratches covered and germ-free by using soap, water, and first aid. Insects carry biological agents, prevent insect bites by keeping clothes buttoned, covering skin, and using insect repellent.
