The best way is to avoid Bio agents -- get out of the area. However, Bio-war (or terrorism) is actually very very hard to do, and even harder to get right. For instance, aerial sprayers (like they show in movies) tend to destroy most organisms they try to spread. Very few bio-agents survive long outside the body, and weaponizing them is outrageously difficult. In order to protect yourself, if you feel there's a threat, move upwind. Make sure you clean yourself thoroughly whenever you think there's a chance of exposure (using warm, soapy water). And mostly don't worry. This is a highly complex and difficult attack modalilty. You're at far greater risk from bee stings, lightning bolts and of course, car accidents. *Remain in an approved shelter until the threat has been neutralized.

Three biological warfare agents that are toxins are: Ricin Botulism Staphylococcal Enterotoxin (SEB)
Amines Biological agents include bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral, and Rickettsial/Chlamydia.

Biological safety cabinets are used for handling biological agents safely by providing a contained workspace with controlled airflow. Biosensors are used for detecting and measuring biological agents in samples by converting a biological response into an electrical signal. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machines are used to amplify and detect DNA or RNA of biological agents for identification and analysis.
Yes, that's correct. The U.S. has laws and policies, such as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 and the Biological Weapons Convention, that prohibit the development, production, and use of biological agents or toxins for hostile purposes. These measures are in place to prevent the use of biological weapons and protect public safety.

The M17 is a protective 'gas' mask. It was first produced in 1959 and used in the Vietnam war to protect troops against any chemical and biological agents present.
