The Germans developed a type of chemical warfare in WW1. The toxic and painful gas used on the enemy was Mustard Gas. This gas burned the lungs, causing eventual death, if not immediate death. This is the same Gas Sadham Hussein used on the Kurds a couple decades ago. Men Women and Children to the tune of 10,000 in villages in Iraqi territory, a good question to ask would be why the U.N. Did nothing about that situation. Mustard gas also burns the skin and eyes. American Soldiers were issued gas masks for this reason in WW1.
