Why?

why do they cause blitering of the skin? --Abdull 8 July 2005 19:25 (UTC)

I believe it's due to a combination of breaking the bonds between the epidermis and the dermis and a pronounced inflammatory response although I'm not an expert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axaladl (talk • contribs) 22:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Vinca alkaloids

Vinca alkaloids are also vesicants. Is it worth adding them to this page? 69.22.224.90 (talk) 02:34, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Mustard Gas

An initiation was conducted to Military personnel in the 60's, Mustard gas was melted by candle and them a drop was administered to the forearm by needle point, it took almost 30 years for it to fade away, a group of about 15 Army soldiers were taken to an attic in a German barracks in Augsburg, they went through this initiation for the knowledge of knowing what this stuff would do if it was dropped on us by the Communists, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.30.127.34 (talk) 14:53, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Therapeutic uses?

We’re vesucants not used as chest compresses for certain ailments as recently as the Victorian period? I’m not sure what ailments but I think maybe persistent chest infections. -Wwallacee (talk) 14:31, 8 May 2018 (UTC) Wwallacee (talk) 14:31, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
