Thanks for the link.

It seems to me that this information should not be published for public consumption. It allows people to have a better understanding of what resources we have available, as well as any possible shortfalls. . .

[Brian Kopp DPM]

This is important info. It needs to get into the hands of civilians who can make proper use of it. I know after reading this that the inexpensive antibiotic doxycycline is a good prophylactic drug (take it before the attack to keep from getting sick) for non antibiotic resistant strains of anthrax (the most likely kind terrorist groups can make) and many other bioterror bugs. I'm going to order in stockbottles of it to keep on hand for family and friends just in case (dejaviou here...feels like y2k hysteria again)

[Brian Kopp DPM]

I disagree. Before reading this, as a doc, I had no idea what common sense approaches to take for myself, my family, and my patients. Proper civil defense preparations, at least among the medical community, DEMANDS this info be disseminated! Please, read this and at least learn how to help yourself and your neighbor.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

Besides, this is a public government web site. The government must feel that this is valuable information that is necessary for the public to help them prepare for any eventuality.

My son is in the Marine Corps. . .I'm probably overly sensitive to any information that may give aid to anyone not acting in his best interest, but from the personal perspective of family and home, you're correct. My husband was a Navy surgeon for twenty-three years, and obviously agrees with you. Thanks

[Jesse]

Thanks. Great link with practical medical information on chemical and biological weapons.

Saw this on the other thread and saved the PDF.

Thanks for the info!

Bump! I saved the PDF to synchonize it to my PalmPilot.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

Does your Palm Pilot have that much memory? I've played with one but really am ignorant of its technical capabilities. This data is worth saving though, and I hope many others find it here too.

Bump.

This is valuable information- I'll cross-link it to this:

Nuclear, Biological, & Chemical Warfare- Survival Skills, Pt. II

"Has that clinton "legacy" made you feel safer yet?"

[thinden]

bumping here boss.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

thanks

[backhoe]

Gladly- let's bump it again...

[backhoe]

Let's bump it again!

I mentioned this on another post:

The late writer Pat Frank ( Alas, Babylon! & How to Survive the H-Bomb- and Why...) had a theory that if enough Americans prepared for nuclear war, the "winnability" of it would be questioned by the Kremlin, and they'd think twice about striking us. Maybe the same idea would hold true here? It can't hurt to arm yourself with knowledge.

NBC weapons are destuctive and awful in their own right- however, they are also terror weapons- and the counter to that is education, training, and preparation.
