[edit] chemical structure

are the drawn projection and the 3d ball/stick model the same chemical? they look like enantimorphs to me.

[edit] Grammar

"Although lethal doses absorbed though the may result in death in 1 to 2 minutes, death may be delayed for 1 to 2 hours."

Doesn't make sense.

"Faintly fruity odor"-who gave it the sniff test?

A: The product's discoverers initially didn't know what they had produced, and because of the substance's relatively low toxicity, they were able to smell small quantities of the agent (though doing so resulted in unpleasant sweating, tremors, mild fever, and radically constricted "pinpoint" pupils that left the unfortunate scientists temporarily blinded for a week or two. Subsequently, the slave laborers who were to manufacture it also were routinely exposed to small quantities of the agent, and also reported the fruity scent, as well as a fishy odor at larger concentrations.

PS: Will work on the grammar.
