 Sand storms in the Sahara had carried sand into the stratosphere which was
 then carried north for 2000 miles and dumped on the UK during light rain on
 Saturday night.

Couldn't the seemingly inevitable war in the mideast become a worldwide
catastrophe, if any weapons-grade bacteria or poison is spread the same way as
the Saharan sand & Chernobyl fallout? Just how virile are these (would they
travel to far away places via fallout, retaining any potency?) Bad enough that
they should even affect those living in nearby towns. Are any of Alloy's
experts able to comment on this?
