Revised Quick Tour to reflect change in
Syndromes. Instead of Specific/Sensitive, Syndromes are now defined as
Common/Uncommon. Use "Common" (the default) when you want to find
all the diseases in which the syndrome is common. Use "Uncommon"
when you want to find those in which the syndrome may occur rarely as a
manifestation or complication of the disease.

Reviewed and revised all Category
A & B bioterrorism agents and all chemical/nuclear warfare agents
based on new references from USAMRICD, USAMRIID,
and REAC/TS. Added
"Incapacitating agents, acute effects" and "Radiation
sickness, acute" as two new diseases to raise the total to 201
diseases. Added two new syndromes: Cholinergic and Anticholinergic.
OutbreakID now supports an all-hazards approach in which each nuclear,
biological, or chemical threat is placed within the context of all threats
including natural outbreaks, warfare, and other occupational and
environmental diseases.
