Bioterrorism includes the release of bacteria, viruses, or other biological agents in a terrorist attack. Biological agents can spread through the air, in water, or through the food supply. Some may spread person-to-person, such as smallpox, and others, such as anthrax, cannot. Chemical terrorism is the release of chemical agents or toxins in order to kill or severely injure people. Chemical agents can be absorbed through the skin, the mucous membranes, the eyes, or through the gastrointestinal tract if consumed. What can be done
