it use to be but now all the stuff that we got today it really wouldnt do much.

Mustard gas is a chemical warfare agent developed during the First World War. It is a chemical weapon that attacks the skin and eyes, causing severe blistering on the skin and if inhaled the respiratory tract and other organs.

It does not cause immediate death, instead it usually disables, quite often alarmingly so. Most often effects are not seen for up-to six hours later which means treatment is not sought until the damage has been done.

The toxins present may also cause mutation of the DNA thus causing cancer.
