| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Even in the modern times we live in, infectious diseases loom overhead threatening to wipe out total populations in one fell swoop. Throughout time mankind has dealt with the horrors of disease. When one is eradicated there's always another waiting in the wings ready to make its debut and claim the lives of millions. The "You Make Me Sick" series is a hypochondriac's worst nightmare as it takes a look at all kinds of infectious diseases, different germs, and all that goes along with the phenomenon of being sick. In this edition, read about agents known to be used in biological warfare like anthrax, ebola, cholera, hemorrhagic fever, Q fever, Brucellosis, and many others. Read about the 2001 Anthrax Attacks in the United States as well. Information is also given on infectious disease and the difference between epidemics and pandemics. Look for more editions of "You Make Me Sick" to read everything you ever wanted to know about specific diseases and some of the sick shit that people do to cause even more illness and death.
