It can kill you almost instantly or kill you slowly over time. It can make you slightly sick or have you writhing in pain.
"Biological warfare" simply means the premeditated spreading of pathological agents. The end consequence for the victim will be directly connected to the causative organism, as in all infectious disease. An example is anthrax, if you breathe the spores of this organism they can cause pneumonia and you could die. Another example is tetanus, if you threw darts with Clostridium tetani on them at someone that wasn't vaccinated you could send them into a vicious lockjaw state due to the fact that the C. tetani would release tetanospasmin into their system preventing inhibitory neuronal function.
If you are interested in biological warfare I suggest you look into specific organisms, such as the causative agent of smallpox which was used against the native Americans.
