Anthrax Precautions

The first line of defense is to posses a healthy, vibrant immune system. Anthrax, or any natural pathogenic agent, cannot overpower such a body. Such a body's defense system goes into an attack mode to kill and rid the body of the foreign invaders. Sickness may occur before the body's defense system comes in to full play, but the body will eventually win out over the anthrax and defeat its spread.

Compromised immune systems will likely fail to defeat an anthrax invasion of the body. Since many people have compromised immune systems, it is absolutely vital to feed the body with foods (supplements) designed to rebuild and strengthen its defenses. This should not be an option as it has been in the past.

In the meantime please recognize that many are advocating essential oils and colloidal silver for anthrax.

Antibiotics like doxycyline and Cipro would be useful, but certainly impractical for the entire country to stockpile. Additionally, the microbiologist told me one would have to be on antibiotics for many months because as soon as they were stopped the spores would activate and likely kill the person.

Surgical Filter Masks People with open lesions, cuts, etc, should keep them covered from exposure to the air. Long sleeve shirts help to cover exposed arms. Gloves cover cuts on hands. One can use the 0.1 micron surgical filter masks I identified last week to protect from inhaling the spores. The masks only need to be used if an attack occurs. They obviously do not protect the eyes, but that is a very small risk of infection. One can use surgical tape over the mask to the skin for an even better seal. In a pinch, though any tape that provides a seal will work. If an attack occurs the masks should be disposed of and burned as they would be highly contaminated. Fresh masks should be put on if one has traveled through a contaminated area. One obviously would have to remove the masks to eat and drink water. This should only be done in an area that is not contaminated, such as a building that was well sealed off and had positive pressure being generated internally to prevent the spores from being sucked into the building. Other Preparations Extra food water and back up electrical precautions are set.
