I recall what the Israelis were warned to do during the Gulf War when it was feared that Saddam would unleash a bio/chem Scud on them -- seal themselves into a room, breathe through wet towels, etc.

However this is when they had warning of an attack -- we could easily detect that a Scud was coming in, and warn the Israelis. With a local attack, there may be no warning.

A wet towel doesn't inspire too much confidence. It's times like these that I wish I lived in the country.

Just had a horrible thought! Ebola virus. if you have not read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston, you should. It will certainly make you think and wonder but mostly give you the scare of your life! After reading this thread I may have to visit my Dr. Monday for a Prozac prescription. I am kidding, of course.
