Alexander's notes

Associated quest

 * For the Advancement of Learning

Journal entry

 * Conclusions:
 * –One droplet from a colony of plague bacteria diluted in one hundred quarts of pure water is sufficient to induce infection,
 * –In the absence of medical care, the illness terminates in death in 93% of cases,
 * –When medical care is provided, the illness terminates in death in 89% of cases,
 * –Individuals who survive develop complete immunity to the disease and never succumb to it again.


 * There are two interesting directions in which further research can proceed.
 * –Firstly, increasing the time during which the bacteria colony remains active after dilution (currently less than 12 hours) would allow for its use as a weapon, one idea for diversions or sabotage behind enemy lines.
 * –Second, the development of immunity in survivors suggests a vaccine may be possible.


 * Under taking either of these would require an enormous dedication of time and means, neither of which, sad to say, I possess at the moment.
