2. If you fear you have been exposed to biological agents (Anthrax, plague, Tularemia, Brucellosis, Q fever, smallpox, viral encephalitic, or hemorrhagic fever) do the following during the one- to six-day incubation period before symptoms arise....

Do NOT begin antibiotic treatment until symptoms appear. Early or excessive use of antibiotics will destroy the natural bacterial flora in your intestinal tract and render your immune system less effective.

This is dangerous, and it is unethical to recommend it. Recommending herbal remedies in the face of known deadly bioterror bugs is not only unethical, it is immoral. If you have been exposed to these agents, or have a strong suspicion of same, you WILL die if you do not start antibiotics (with the notable exceptions mentioned in the link below.) Please, do not tell people to NOT begin antibiotic treatment until symptoms appear because this advice is wrong.

Try shoping a good safety suppy store, you should at least find good half face APRs, if not full face units. I recomend sticking with good commercial brands, MSA, North, Racal, ect. They may even help with fit tests (crucial for proper protection).
