Actually, not that many people died from “mustard gas” in World War I. Most of the chemical warfare fatalities were phosgene.
What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

PSA ⚠️ POISON ⚠️
If you come in contact with hexachloroethane (HC) gas - It’s critical to act quickly and decisively.
Hexachloroethane can decompose into toxic gases like phosgene, hydrochloric acid, and zinc chloride smoke, all of which are dangerous to your lungs, eyes, and skin.

it's actually a trench that you die in from phosgene burning your lungs while you asphyxiate

Dea--ah, no, and I'm not getting a gas mask or poisoning myself with phosgene/chlorine AGAIN
inflict trench foot upon yourself before the walk?

this cozy collection of survivors' stories will linger with you like a cloudy haze of phosgene

#OTD 21/11/1942 #RememberRCN -HMCShips TIMMINS & MINAS rescue 60 sailors from MV Empire Sailor (UK), torpedoed by U-518 while in Convoy ON-145. Loaded with phosgene bombs, mustard gas & cyanide, crew abandoned freighter immediately. 20 survivors later succumbed to the phosgene gas.

Worse. Carbon tet is nasty on it's own, but wen heated or burned becomes phosgene, which turns your lungs into mulch.

“Cyanide oxide” is mythical.
And if you look at the structure of CS, there’s no pathway to get to one of the phosgene compounds in any particular process

British projectors for firing phosgene gas or burning oil, installed for the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917, uncovered in 2013.
Pilckem Ridge 2013. In addition to temporary trenches for troop supply, more remnants were found that were part of the preparations for the 31 July 1917 attack. These Livens Projectors were fired in the hours leading up to zero hour

Can we talk right-wingers into believing that inhaling phosgene will make women want to fuck them? Worth a try?
