Implementing these PPE strategies may prove difficult, as it is human nature to proceed to maximum protection when the perceived danger is unknown or unusual. It is important to emphasize basic principles of infectious disease control and emphasize the lack of person-to-person transmission for the majority of the biological agents when responding to such incidents, so as to maximize the available medical resources to provide care for the largest number of victims.
