However you feel about the horrible buisness in Syria, many of you might not understand how Sarin works. Sci Show explains:
The one thing I’ll point out is that survivors of Sarin might fully recover, it still can leave victims horribly disabled. A Japanese friend of mine lent me a book he was reading about the Aum Subway attack in Tokyo and many of the stories were about survivors who were horribly disabled from near-fatal exposure to the Sarin used in the attack.
I don’t have the book anymore, but I believe it was this one. You can buy it here.
