Anthrax poison threat
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ANTHRAX is not a biological weapon of mass destruction killing everyone who has contact with it. That dubious honour belongs to the nerve gas, Sarin. It is, however, a lethal poison. Like other poisons, whether it kills depends on the dose absorbed and the strength of the victim's immunity.
It has been estimated that a small plane carrying 10kg of anthrax spores - which could theoretically be disguised as a crate of duty free - would be enough to kill three million people if sprayed over a city. Its effect would depend, however, on weather and windspeed, the general health of the target population and the availability of antibiotics to fight the infection. It could be placed in drinks or food but this would kill comparatively small numbers.
