Dear Mr. Coombs, Without digressing into minute detail, I believe I can offer you some rational, practical suggestions.....for employment in a home situation. Our resident biological pathogen expert offers several simple, but helpful suggestions. First, keep a supply of about 2 to 3 gallons (per person) of uncontaminated water stored on-hand. If it is not in a sealed or controlled atmosphere......cycle it out through domestic consumption every 4 months (minimum). Arrange to drape double-thickness cheese-cloth or open-pore muslin over the inside of all exiting (outside opening) doors. Maintain a supply of at least 4 central-air intake filters. If one is very anxious over the possibility of bio-terrorism, especially of the air-borne vectors, just roll the cheese cloth drapes up on a dowel-rod over the doorway and secure them with a tie-string -----they can be instantly dropped. The better way to construct these is to use two vertical pieces, wide enough to provide about a 6" overlap....thus allowing the minimum intrusion of outside air, when passing though. It is a good idea to spray the entire surface of each cheese-cloth/muslin-type screen with 10 to 15ppm CS and allow to dry before rolling up. If a known pathogen dispensed into the local atmosphere, it would be prudent to dampen the cheese-cloth filters immediately-----this greatly enhances the particle-entrapment capablities. Immediately change the CS impregnated central-air filters in your system-----even if they have only been installed for a few days. Additionally, unless your dwelling is a "very tight" structure, it would be prudent to breathe through a "home-made" veil made from a handerchief saturated with CS-----at least for the initial period of suspected fallout. The most desireable circumstance relating to water, is to have your individual sub-surface well. Because of the positive pressure effects of a central-air system, one would be best served to stay indoors as long as possible after an atmospherically-based insult. All of these simple suggestions reflect a common-sense approach. Beyond reasonable preparations for the practical-minded, paranoia-induced mental challenges may cause more damage than the potential pathogenic agent-----not the least of which might be the destruction of your life-structure. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.W. Coombs" <coom...@ev1.net> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 5:19 PM Subject: CS>Fwd: Bio-Terrorism
