RELATED SYMBOLS: (AHTCQ)(BSTI)

ATLANTA, Sep 13, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- BioShield
Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BSTI) announced today that they have
reorganized the team to support overall cost reductions and operating expenses.
Ms. Baker stated, "We are aligning our manpower requirements and reducing our
operating expenses. The company now employs 5 fulltime employees and several
consultants in the areas of product registration, microbiology and financials,
and have changed to a distribution based model for our sales efforts which
employs many sales personnel. During the past several months, we have
implemented several cost cutting measures while increasing the efficiencies
within the organization that provide us the operational foundation to operate on
a much larger scale."

Ms. Baker stated, "I'm extremely proud to be a part of the BioShield team and
especially thankful for the vote of confidence and opportunity to take on the
role as General Manager of the Company. BioShield has reached a key phase of its
corporate turnaround and we are making major strides in cleaning up our balance
sheet, firming up new sales and contracts, bringing on new distribution
partners, and putting some of the company's past distractions behind us, as
evidenced by the recent win by Bioshield executives for the summary judgment
against AHT Corporation. BioShield has an incredible foundation in its product,
and one of our main objectives will be to significantly grow revenue,
aggressively develop the commercial aspects of our business with our licensee
and distribution partners, and build a growing base of long-term sustainable
revenue as we penetrate new markets and gain new clients."
