      They are right, if you’d like to prove them wrong, mix up some 1-Chloro-2-[(2-chloroethyl)sulfanyl]ethane with honey and report back how it tastes

      Mustard gas is a vesicant chemical weapon strongly discouraged by the Geneva suggestions. I don’t know why it’s called mustard gas, but if it were in mustard it would give you horrific fluid filled blisters.

      It’s one of the most gruesome chemicals used in WW1 along with phosgene gas which turns into hydrochloric acid on contact with water. Essentially burning all your mucous membranes and drowning you in hydrochloric acid.

      Both can be made in your kitchen without controlled chemicals and limited equipment, just FYI.
