You are most likely referring to chemical weapons. They were designed to kill by poisoning or causing disease in people. They were effective, and so devastating that they were banned by the Geneva convention. One of the less documented disease weapons were reportedly used by the American settlers on the Native Americans by giving them blankets with small pox. It killed a lot of Native American men, women, and children by making them sick.
