The end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) could result from\u00a0pandemics\u00a0of antibiotic-resistant superbugs\u00a0used by terrorists. But there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones from the threat posed by these biological hazards, as stated by a Beans, Bullets, Bandages and You<\/em> article.<\/p>\n Biohazards are harmful organic substances that can infect living creatures and spread among the members of a population. They should be on the top of the list of things that a prepper must get ready for.<\/p>\n The best way\u00a0to defend yourself against biohazards is to avoid exposing yourself to them.\u00a0An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.<\/p>\n Avoiding biohazards is fairly straightforward. They are essentially very infectious diseases, so avoid physical contact with anything that might have been touched or used by an infected person. (Related:\u00a0220 cases of \u201cnightmare bacteria\u201d with antiobiotic-resistant genes recorded in 27 states.)<\/p>\n Do not handle body fluids that came from an infected person. The pathogens are carried by fluids like blood, saliva, urine, and others. So no blood transfusions and no sex, which are common ways people trade body fluids.<\/p>\n In fact, avoid any person who is ill unless you are either well-protected or have no choice. There’s a reason\u00a0health professionals and people who\u00a0tend patients often get infected as well.<\/p>\n The second most effective way a biohazard can spread is through the air. Some germs are able to ride small droplets of moisture that float in the air.<\/p>\n The power of the elements: Discover Colloidal Silver Mouthwash with quality, natural ingredients like Sangre de Drago sap, black walnut hulls, menthol crystals and more.

The ventilation system carries these airborne bacteria to inhabited parts, where they can infect people.<\/p>\n The deadly 1995 sarin attacks in Japan\u00a0was the first incident where terrorists unleashed poison gas in public areas. The cultists who conducted those attacks also tried to manufacture botulinum toxin as a bioweapon. Other terrorists have also considered using biohazards as weapons.<\/p>\n So how do you avoid airborne biohazards? For starters, avoid events and places\u00a0with large numbers of people because it’s easier for biohazards to spread there.\u00a0Places like subways and malls are also bigger targets for terrorists.<\/p>\n Contrary to what you may think, medical masks are not very good at screening out airborne germs. They are effective when worn by a sick person because they trap pathogens.<\/p>\n Wash your hands with soap on a regular basis. Certain bacteria \u2013 like the one responsible for anthrax \u2013 can survive a long time on surfaces. They will transfer onto your hands when you touch them.<\/p>\n Speaking of anthrax, there are diseases found in animals that can infect humans. Anthrax originated in cattle and other hoofed stock, bird flu is transmitted\u00a0through poultry, and swine flu is found in pigs. Steer clear of areas with\u00a0these critters.<\/p>\n Despite your best efforts, you might end up exposed to biohazards anyway. In that case, quarantine yourself at once to keep the infection from spreading to your loved ones.<\/p>\n Wash yourself and your clothes as thoroughly as possible. Get rid of any possible pathogens on your body and items.<\/p>\n Help your own immune system fight the infection.\u00a0It can handle most threats, especially if you support it by eating healthy foods, sleeping and resting well, and working out regularly.<\/p>\n Hopefully, things won’t come to that. As long as you keep your distance from obvious threats and regularly clean yourself, you should be safe from biohazards.<\/p>\n Stay alerted about possible pandemics caused by biohazards and other pathogens by visiting Bioterrorism.<\/p>\n Sources include:<\/p>\n BeansBulletsBandagesAndYou<\/p>\n NTI.org<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) could result from\u00a0pandemics\u00a0of antibiotic-resistant superbugs\u00a0used…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[264,263,262],"class_list":["post-1509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","tag-biohazards","tag-protect","tag-teotwawki"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce.jpg",1200,676,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce-768x433.jpg",640,361,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce-1024x577.jpg",640,361,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce.jpg",1200,676,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce.jpg",1200,676,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce-1024x577.jpg",1024,577,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1658\/8462e217bd8b8ce-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"Health<\/a>","tag_info":"Health","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Avoid crowded areas, wash your hands, and stay clear of\u00a0animal vectors<\/h2>\n
