Article Abstract:

After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Americans became afraid of possible bioterrorism outbreaks, including anthrax and smallpox. If anthrax is contracted, antibiotics must be started immediately to reduce symptoms. For smallpox, a vaccine can help to cure symptoms and prevent the disease from doing harm before exposure occurs.
