1. biological weapon

   A biological weapon is a type of weapon that uses bacteria, viruses, toxins, fungi, or other harmful biological agents as a means to harm, incapacitate, kill, or create panic within a population or against an enemy. These weapons can be naturally occurring or artificially created and can be spread directly or indirectly, through air, water, or food. The results can range from mild illnesses to severe diseases, even death, and could potentially cause widespread epidemics. Biological weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction and their use is widely considered unethical and illegal under international law.
