[edit] symbol
How does the symbol relate to this neo-pagan symbol? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.40.143.115 (talk) 10:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC).
- It doesn't. The Biohazard Symbol was developed in the 1970s without reference to obscure religious symbols. Its was influenced by the Radiation Trifoil, which also used a tripple symetry. Pzavon 04:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

- Well, you're wrong. The Symbol originated in the time of Feudal-Age Japan as a family crest which in turn originated from a chinese character.

- Almost anyone can create a graphic like this these days. Show me a credible reference that confirms the biohazard symbol originated in Feudal Japan. THEN show me documentation that such a symbol had any influence on on the people who proposed the design for the current biohazard warning symbol or was even known to them.
- My four year old drew a symbol like that once. I'm now convinced he's the reincarnation of an anceint Japanse lord...or perhaps it was chance that some obscure symbol from a thousand years ago looks kinda like something my 4 year old drew...go figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.176.151.6 (talk) 16:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

"similar in most respects to modern precautions against everyday viruses (i.e.: washing one's hands with anti-bacterial soap"
-- antibacterial soap does not kill viruses. Antibacterial soap kills bacteria... --HGHSTROJAN (talk) 14:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
