RELATED SYMBOLS: (BSTI)

ATLANTA, May 29, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- BioShield
Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BSTI) announced the Company was part of
an exclusive profile of specific companies in BusinessWeek's Developments to
Watch section of the May 27, 2002 issue.

In the article titled Developments to Watch -- Making Storm Drains the Last Stop
for Toxins, BioShield, along with its licensee partner, AbTech Industries, was
discussed as one of the new leading companies providing a remedy that filters
out the toxins, oils, grease and PCB's before they flow downstream, potentially
threatening fresh water and water bodies which pose a significant health
concern. The article further mentions that three states are testing the
antibacterial filter kits.

ABOUT BIOSHIELD:

BioShield Technologies, Inc., is a Georgia-based biotechnology and antimicrobial
products company. Its core business is committed to the discovery, development,
marketing and sale of surface-modifying antimicrobial and biostatic products.
The company's antimicrobial technology is a revolutionary alternative to
conventional sanitizers, disinfectants, bleaches, biocides or preservatives
primarily because it kills bacteria, including HIV and eColi, on contact and can
remain active for extended time periods. To date, BioShield has received three
US patents and eight EPA registrations, including the first U.S. germ killer and
disinfectant against Salmonella cholerasuis, Staphylococcus aureus and other
microorganisms. The company has developed several alliances in different
industries, such as healthcare, textiles and storm water.

ABOUT BIOSHIELD'S TECHNOLOGY:

BioShield began researching and developing antimicrobial technology in 1995.
BioShield began receiving patents on its technology in 1999, under U.S. Pat.
5,954,869. In September 2000, two additional patents, U.S. Pat. Number 6120587
and 6113815, were issued. Other patents, filed in several countries in the
European Community, as well as Brazil, Israel, Mexico, Japan and New Zealand are
pending. Using a proprietary stabilizer with the active ingredient, BioShield's
antimicrobial products deliver all the traditional benefits associated with an
organosilane, however do not posses the toxic hazards. BioShield's proprietary
technology is a durable antimicrobial shield that protects surfaces from
microbial deterioration by inhibiting microbial growth. At the same time,
BioShield's technology is safer to handle than conventional-based additives,
doesn't require special equipment, and readily delivers silane-to-surface bonds
from water-stable solutions. BioShield's patented antimicrobial technology is a
residual antimicrobial molecule approved by the E.P.A. with eight registrations
in effect for multiple consumer and industrial uses. The company's active
molecule has the unique ability to bind itself to hundreds of types of surfaces
thus creating essentially a new surface that is protected and inhibits the
growth of bacteria for extended periods of time that typically help stop cross-
contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) currently approves
BioShield's technology for fogging in institutional and industrial facilities
and homeowner dwellings. The application can be simply sprayed on surfaces,
washed into clothing or bonded to a multitude of fabrics and finished coatings.
