We as humans distance ourselves from diseases. This is shown in how we interact with sick people. When we are trying avoid getting illnesses we use hand sanitizer, and sometime when we wear mask.Which is extreme, but this shows how people are scared of disease even when it something like as common as the flu. If they are acting very precautious with a something as small as the flu, how we would they react when they are face-to-face with a disease on a bigger spectrum.When humans first encountered Biological Warfare, they could not have predicted that it would kill ⅓ of the European population ( 1345 Caffa,Plague).However today we have laws and a world agreement;Biological Warfare Convention. The articles of that convention states that Biological …show more content…

It also showed us how disease can spread immensely and can be used as a mean of defense.This and many other event lead to the creation of the Biological Warfare
