The History of What's Happening Right Now: Biological Warfare

After episode 1, my sister text me and told me episode 2 should be about "Biological Warfare."

Not exactly a topic bubbling at the top of my brain but, I agreed and we recorded a few days later.

How do you define biological warfare?  My definition is, "The intentional, malicious use of bacteria, viruses, fungi, poisons, or other toxins derived from nature to be used against against enemy combatants."  During the Cold War I think the term "Germ Warfare" was more commonly used.  Regardless, the example everyone should know is, when European colonists gave smallpox riddled blankets to the natives.  

We dive a little deeper as my sister asks me to provide 3-5 examples throughout history.  Give a listen and hopefully learn something.
