With
the possibility of cross contamination of your
mail in the post office, even individuals who
don’t rate national attention can become
victims. The object of biological warfare, or
bio-terrorism is to spread a disease through as
much of a population as possible. The terrorists
want to put us in such a state of fear that we
will stop doing everything and just hide in our
homes.
We do not have to accept this state of affairs.
With simple precautions, we can limit the possibility
of anyone in our family falling victim to the
bio-terrorists. The diseases caused by bacteria,
viruses or protozoa must be introduced into our
environment in such a way that we will accept
these organisms into our bodies.
There are four primary modes of entry into the
human body for diseases such as what the terrorists
may likely use. You can inhale bacteria such as
Anthrax, transfer it from your hands to your mouth
and ingest it or have an open cut or scrapes become
infected. We will tell you simple ways to help
prevent these modes of entry from opening to the
biological agent.
Our primary goal is to help you protect yourself
and your family.
