ooc: A few things, no I do not condone bio-weapons. Two I may be a bit wonkey being as I am still in the stone age of internet service, fragging dial up.
ic: *Broadcast to all nations.* Hello all. My name is Docter Jesica Jay Wonkers. I am the head of the SWCL. That being the Silver Wolf Chemical Labs. What we are doning as a nation is getting rid of all our bio weapons. Everything from small pox to the dreaded Black Mist. We as a nation will no longer use any bio weapons. Being as to many of our people over the years have had to have massive cybernetic reconstructive surgery because of the weapons. being as we as a nation were almost wipped out due to our meddling in bio Constucts. What we have here is a partial list of what we need to send out.
Anthrax
Background: A government study estimated that about 200 pounds of anthrax released upwind of Washington, D.C., could kill up to 3 million people. The disease is not contagious. Effects: Early symptoms include fever, malaise, cough, respiratory distress. Shock and death can follow within 36 hours. Treatment: If given early enough, antibiotics can prevent exposed people from falling sick. The vaccine is reserved for military use.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Botulinum toxins
Background: The single most poisonous variety is typically food borne, but it also could be developed as an aerosol weapon. Effects: Initial symptoms, such as blurred vision and difficulty swallowing and speaking, take effect in 24 to 36 hours. The nerve toxin paralyzes muscles, leading to respiratory failure and death. Treatment: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintain the botulism anti-toxin supply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plague (pneumonic and bubonic)
Background: Nearly 19,000 cases of history's most feared contagious disease were reported worldwide between 1980 and 1994. Lethal cases in the U.S. are extremely rare. Effects: Symptoms occur within one to six days after inhaling the pneumonic form. High fever, cough and labored breathing lead to respiratory failure and death. Treatment: Rapid use of antibiotics can be effective. A vaccine is not currently being produced in the United States.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smallpox
Background: This highly contagious disease killed more than 500 million people in the 20th century before vaccinations eradicated it in 1977. Vaccinations stopped in 1980. Effects: Early symptoms like fever, headache and nausea occur for about 12 days. A Chickenpox-like rash spreads across the body, hardening into blisters. One-third of victims die. Treatment: None, though it can be prevented. Only 12 million doses of vaccine remain to protect the uninfected, enough for one of every 23 Americans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tularemia
Background: The U.S. military studied this infectious organism as a weapon in the 1950s and 1960s. Effects: Fever, chills, headache and weakness occur in three to five days. Resulting inflammation and hemorrhaging of the airways can lead to death. Treatment: Without antibiotics, one-third of those infected die. The Food and Drug Administration is currently reviewing a vaccine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viral hemorrhagic fevers
Background: The origin of Ebola, for example, is unknown, but it is probably transmitted to humans by animals. Effects: Fever, muscle aches and diarrhea occur in three to five days. Fluids hemorrhage out of tissues and orifices. Depending on the strain, 30 percent to 90 percent of victims die. Treatment: Some of these diseases respond to antiviral drugs, but those are in short supply.
