| Dec 8, 2019 at 23:43 | comment | added | Qoray | I really can not thank you all enough! Your community is extremely helpful! (in the biology stack exchange, the same questions almost got me banned ;) ) I think, I will use Tims advice, and use "anthrax, but it only renders you infertile" for my disease. This would also make my villain more humain, and less of a psychopath... Anyways, thank you, your answeres were both helpful and really insightful! | |

From what I have heard, some of our higher tier antibiotics are so good at their job that they can only be given to someone who is on dialysis -- the interferon released by all of those bacteria dying so quickly would overwhelm the kidneys and cause renal failure. Obviously our ability to apply those en masse is very limited. | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 23:01 | comment | added | Qoray | thank you michael :) Do you know, if all antibiotics are available to the public and/or researchers? I know, that some antibiotics can not be perscribed and can only be given out in extreme cases. But a researcher might still have access to them :) Idk, what do you think? | |
