I have to admit that I absolutely love how licking sodium or chloride individually is very bad for you, but when you put them together, you can lick, eat, and even swim in it all day with minimal ill health effects.

Science. ๐Ÿ’™

Sodium reacts violently in water

Chlorine gas and mustard gas are completely different chemical weapons. There is no chlorine in mustard gas.
