Mental Health Treatment | Cloud of Confusion- psychochemical warfare. Technical details of BZ gas field test on soldiers. Pt.2 @MentalHealthTreatment | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
The incapacitating potential of BZ (3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate) when administered directly was already known, however for use as a large scale bio-weapon, additional field tests had to be performed on human test subjects (these being US soldiers). Could a cloud of BZ gas plausibly be delivered to an enemy location and incapacitate multiple targets at once? Colonel James Ketchum of Edgewood Arsenal explains here some of the technical challenges with setting up the test.
