Depending upon the permeability of the suit, it could work for some forms of Chem or Bio.
We used to be told that in the event you did not have your chem suit, the rainsuit or poncho was better than nothing.
Most bio weapons have to be aerosolized to distribute, most other vectors are too unreliable. As long as you wear a mask and do not inhale the agent, get it in an open wound, your eyes, ears, nose, or mouth, and washed yourself off with a decontaminant after exposure and before unmasking, you should be okay.
Thus the need for a lot of hot water, bleach, and a slurry pit.
Unles someone wants to talk about air further, and we can revisit it, that brings us to our next topic, First Aid, Medicine, and Escape gear.
The idea here was that if you are trapped, not breathing or and bleeding out, the rest of the stuff on the list is a distant consideration.
Thoughts?
