Depends on the biological agent used.
The onset of symptoms from a biological terrorist incident can vary widely depending on the agent used. Some biological agents, like anthrax or plague, may cause symptoms within hours to days, while others, such as smallpox or viral hemorrhagic fevers, might take longer to manifest. Initial symptoms often resemble common illnesses, making early detection challenging. Rapid identification and response are crucial to manage the outbreak and mitigate its effects.
A biological agent usually has no odor, color, or other signatures, while most chemical agents have one or more signatures. A chemical incident is characterized by a rapid onset of medical symptoms, while the onset of symptoms from a biological incident could take days or weeks. A biological incident can affect a larger geographic area, while a chemical incident can involve a smaller geographic area.
