| In the 1980s medieval adventure film Flesh + Blood a diseased dog is thrown into the enemy's water supply as a primitive biological weapon. Interesting to read that bit was based on fact. |

I seem to recall reading when I was young about biological agents being used as ancient weapons of war being quite common. Got a siege going on? Get some rotting animals and catapult them over the wall. For bonus points, use the rotting bodies of your enemies for extra psychological terror!
Another one I heard of was covering your sword with faeces so that even if your blow didn't outright kill your enemy the infection would take care of them shortly after. Was this a common practice? |
