The Hittite plague was the name given for the first recorded outbreak in history. It lasted for approximately 20 years, and mainly affected the Middle East. It is a biological weapon made by the Hittites, whose targets are their empire's enemies with tularemia, an infectious disease that passes to humans from rabbits, sheep, or other animals. The epidemic may also be the first use of biological warfare, as well as the origins of tularemia, which is still in several countries.
