How do you weaponize a rabbit?

There are four major infectious agents that officials fear terrorists will turn into potent bioweapons. The first three you know — smallpox, anthrax, and the plague. The fourth? An itty bitty bacterium that wikes to wive in bunny wabbits.

Don't let its host of choice fool you — tularemia is a serious disease. Humans can contract the nastiness through the bites of ticks and flies or handling the corpses of infected bunnies. Failure to cook said bunnies thoroughly will also make you sick. And that's not all. Back in 2000, 15 residents of Martha's Vineyard came down with "rabbit fever" in a single season — an outbreak thought to have started when someone ran over an infected rabbit with a lawnmower.

Obviously, if an errant brush hog can transmit the disease, a terrorist with an aerosol device could wreak some serious havoc. This isn't merely the plot of a Tom Clancy novel. The United States, Russia, and Japan have all been experimenting with tularemia's use as a bioweapon since at least World War II. That's why researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are peering into the bacterium's inner workings to learn how we might fight such an outbreak. And they're finding tularemia to be a rather sneaky microbe.

I made my case. Rabbits are terrorists. Plain and simple. Every rabbit is a terrorist wanting to come out and kill humans and ptarmigans. Humans are doomed.  :argh:

There were some cases of "rabbit fever" here many years ago.....haven't heard of any here in 5o years but that doesn't mean it isn't around.

'Rabbit fever' was probably a ptarmigan plant . . . :fuelfire: :tongue:

Any rodents can carry it, I remember a case in the news that was contracted from a squirrel when I was a youngster.  Thing is, it's not easily contagious, you pretty much have to be either incredibly damn' unlucky, or very careless and unsanitary in cleaning game to catch it.

HIV/AIDS, Bubonic Plague, Ebola, Tuberculosis, Typhus, Smallpox, Measles, Influenza, etc. are engineered by bunnies to kill humans. Bunnies are finding ways to kill humans.

Whatever happened to bird flu ? H1N1 or whatever the most current strain that never hit.

It's actually making a comeback in Asia.  'Course, there's H1N1, H5N1, H7N9, H10N8, etc.  The ptarmigan scientists really have it in for humanity. :fuelfire:

Anyone remember Typhoid Mary from long ago, a woman that was a carrier of the disease but herself not effected by it.

If I remember correctly, Mary was a cook and most everyone that came into her places of employment became sick.

Some how she was tracked down and ordered by a Court to never work as a cook again.  Off she went and  as cooking was her livelihood soon went back to her trade.   

Sad, a poor woman who was healthy herself and very ignorant told she was spreading disease and killing those that ate her cooking.

Must have been a nightmare to be told she was responsible for the deaths of so many people when she had done nothing wrong.

She did end up in prison I do believe and I have no idea what happened to this poor thing.

So for the Bunny's that have done no wrong themselves that carry and spread a disease. Not their fault but they must be removed for the good of all, not just for the good of some bird I never heard of.

It is rabbits who engineered bird flu.

Notice how all of the variants are bird flu, and not lagomorph flu. :fuelfire: :whistling: :tongue:

Which is the more deadly one? :???:
