Water balloon warfare has, until now, been a fairly safe form of conflict. (excluding the off-hand frozen water balloon). Still, solid or liquid, it's just kinetic energy.

Now, thanks to Black Plague Water Balloons, you will be holding more than a few deciliters of H20 in your hands. You hold millions of merciless micro-organisms that will relentlessly attack your enemies day and night.

your enemies may laugh at your feeble water-volley now, but in a few weeks; the play ground will be yours and yours alone as your foe lie incapacitated in the infirmary. (or dead)

Unwise? Me thinks not! Nor does the wisest of all military strategists:

Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays. - Sun Tzu

So be clever and don't delay a moment longer! Buy Black Plague Water Balloons today! - MikeD

Anti-Black Plague Kittys are sold separately, [WcW]. They are, however, highly reccomended.

Several antibiotics are reasonably effective against the bubonic plague. So it would only work in third world countries who can't afford the treatment.

You could use a disease which is also incurable, but the surprise element would be lost because you would be wearing a hazmat suit.

Didn't the Japanese drop wooden bombs filled with plague fleas in WW2 in Manchuria?
