WASHINGTON -- The government has approved a special skin lotion for U.S. soldiers to apply immediately after a chemical attack to neutralize otherwise potentially deadly chemical weapons.

The lotion is called RSDL, for "reactive skin decontamination lotion." It is made by a Canadian company, O'Dell Engineering Ltd., which says the lotion has been used for years by the Canadian military.

Very interesting article, suggest reading it.

While obviously it's no substitute for a chemical suit, but if small areas of skin are exposed, sounds like it's effective.

I wonder, if they could make some version, where people could basically used it on their skin before any attack, and it would stay there, protecting them, for say 24 hrs.

This miracle cream will be blamed for causing Gulf War Syndrome 2.

Lawyers preparing law suits as we speak.

Bank on it.
