Since the 50's and 60's the US Army has been using Bacillus subtilis as a substitute for live Anthrax spores due to its similarity..
There are NUMEROUS reports that people develop COPD., that 20 % of the spores are retained in the lungs, that hypersensitivity and allergy develops. YET the army, CIA, and other testing agencies feel it is safe.. Those who are somewhat debilitated could very well succumb and develop pulmonary issues.
It is MONSTROUS that such deliberate infectious agents are being SPRAYED in public areas. Those sensitive will have difficulties..
This Bacillus subtilis situation obviously deserves its own thread.. The W-18 guarantees death.. The Bacillus subtilis infection is a slow life-long assault on the lungs. It is possible that smokers, those with any lung lesions, the Bacillus subtilis can enter the bloodstream.

As it happens:

In 1966, as part of a similar test, US Army scientists smashed light bulbs filled with charcoal and Bacillus subtilis, bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
A mere five minutes after the bulbs were smashed at the 23rd Street Station, the bacteria could be detected at every station between 14th Street and 59th Street.
After four days of testing, scientists concluded that more than a million people had been exposed. While the Army scientists noted no adverse affects on passengers, there was no data to prove it.
It’s safe to assume they didn’t test a million people for food poisoning. By the researchers’ account, New Yorkers dealt with the cloud of charcoal and Bacillus subtilis, a literal biological attack, the same way they dealt with any other hazard on the commute. “When the cloud engulfed people, they brushed their clothing, looked up at the grating apron and walked on.”
