Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent that causes severe blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. It is a vesicant or blistering agent that was used in World War I and has no current medical use. Exposure can occur through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion and causes both short and long term health effects. Short term effects include skin blistering and burns, eye irritation and blindness, and respiratory issues. Long term effects involve increased risk of cancers like skin and lung cancer as well as psychological disorders. While exposure is dangerous, following decontamination and treatment procedures can help reduce risks.
