Abstract

The reasons underlying our fear of the use of toxins as new weapons different from chemical agents are discussed together with the conditions required for their use on the battlefield. The undeniable scientific contribution of toxins as pharmacological tools for the study of neurosciences and disease genesis and their prophylaxis is emphasized. In conclusion, the threat for mankind constituted by proliferation of this novel class of agents is stressed.
