First used by the German army in 1917, mustard gas became one of the deadliest poisonous gases used in WWI. People who come in contact with mustard gas, or "yperite," would usually get the following effects: blistering skin, extremely sore eyes, vomiting, and internal and external bleeding. Also, mustard gas attacked the bronchial tubes, which led to stripping of the mucus membrane. The pain caused by mustard gas was excruciating, and many victims had to be strapped to their beds. Their eyes would begin to stick, causing blindness in most cases. It often took 4 to 5 weeks for a victim to die from mustard gas poisoning, following torturous struggles to breathe through their slowly-closing throats.
