Page 34, under Valium, reads .... "It takes about two hours for concentration to be...." should read:
It takes about two hours for concentration to be achieved in the body for maximum protection; thereafter, results start decreasing.
"This drug need only be taken..." should read:
"Take it once in every 8 hours and no oftener for three to four days, for maximum benefit before and during the attack. Do not take once nerve damage has occurred!"
Page 35, reads, "There are other types of..." should read:
"There are other types of nerve agents, for example botulism, a toxin produced by certain bacteria, Clostridium botulinum and Cl. Para-botulinum, that release botulism when they die in improperly processed canned goods. If someone has come into contact with the poison through skin abrasion, or inhalation, they may come down with botulism poisoning.
"This bacteria does not grow or reproduce in the human organism. To be poisoned, you must eat food contained with the botulism toxin.
"This poison prevents ACh from ..."
Page 38, under Ingredients Needed For Decontamination.... add:
Note: You have to have enough perborates and the other ingredients listed to do the job. That is, to drive the chemical reaction to the right. You may want a larger sprayer to hold the ingredients sufficiently and mix to solution better to avoid the possibility of clogging the sprayer, but this gets heavy and unweildy. Also, you may reduce the dry ingredients down to 1 cup, but, remember! You need enough to do the job.
Also, add to the list of ingredients, Super Washing Soda by Arm & Hammer. You need the book Chemical WarFare... to know how to use it.
Page 40 reads, "Lye in water is caustic (corrosive) but loses this as soon as it is mixed with fat..." should read:
"Lye in water is caustic (corrosive) but loses this over time when it is mixed with the proper proportion of fat, the basics of soap making."
Page 45, reads "... but not sodium hypochlorite as found in ...," should read:
"... but not sodium hypocholorite (may cause a flame reaction; thus, if used, add lots of water to your mixture) as found in ...." Note: this is given first on page 24, and stated elsewhere in this book, but, it is a good reminder here.
Page 49, reads, "If you were contaminated, place appropriate dry ingredients in spray canister." Change the period to a comma and add, the dry ingredients on page 38, plus the liquid ingredient too.
On page 53, reads, "...if you are exposed to...," should read, "if you are at risk to exposure to..."
On page 53, reads "...or one of its family members, such as...," should read, "... or one of the other members of the carbamate family.
Page 58, chart, reads "3 grams per day for 2 days for 4 - 5 days," should read "3 grams per day for 4 - 5 days.
Page 67, reads "Disarment," should read, "Disarmarment,"
Page 79 and 80, for Lewisite decontamination, make a note and add after "detox those that can be detoxed with everyday household issues--don't depend on government issues." Add here, "For mustard and Lewisite decontamination, use Supertropical Bleach. Make your own using Chlorinated Lime and CaO. Mix 1 - 2 cups in an aqueous (watery) solution in a 1- 1/2 gallon spray canister."
