1. Not many people know that.

   ‘By the time soldiers noticed the presence of mustard gas on the battlefield, it was often too late. 

   Dr Paul Bartsch of the Division of Molluscs in the U.S. National Museum (now the National Museum of Natural History) discovered that slugs could detect mustard gas well before humans could. The slugs would visibly indicate their discomfort by closing their breathing pores and compressing their bodies, and soldiers in the trenches would quickly put on their gas masks to protect themselves from harmful levels of gas. The “slug brigade” ended up saving many lives.’
