[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2492448, member: 15199"]Actually a cadaver isn't necessary, In the US, prairie dog populations have been undergoing a severe plague epidemic, so they are more available. Hot summer time is best as the fleas (carriers) hop off as soon as the animal cools. The scary thing is that genome for the factors that make Yersinia species so dangerous have been released on the internet years ago. Even the best scientists (including the dominant middle east member of that time) had no idea of microscopic lifeforms, so the "invisible" death causes were more related to devils, demons, and various 'gods' than to a newer germ warfare. I would never say that the Mongols practiced 'germ warfare', more likely they were trying to release 'evil spirits' or such on the enemy. [B] [/B][/QUOTE]
