Abstract

Biological weapons are a serious threat to global health and can cause widespread illness and disruption. This review looks at how these weapons affect human health by focusing on important biological agents, how they spread, and their symptoms. We discuss key agents like anthrax and smallpox, which can lead to severe health issues. We explain the ways these agents can be transmitted, such as through the air, ingestion, or insects, and describe the symptoms people may experience. The review also covers the psychological effects of biological attacks, including stress and social stigma, as well as the economic impacts, like job loss and pressure on healthcare systems. Finally, we highlight the challenges in responding to biological threats, such as the need for better detection, vaccines, and preparedness plans. Understanding the effects of biological weapons is crucial for creating effective strategies to protect individuals and communities.
