                                   Tips available on the CIA’s Internet site

If out of nowhere

low-lying clouds release

people in a fog

unusual liquid droplets

         smells fruity  flowery  almond-

     like   new mowed  hay    horse-

          radish-like    numerous

animals         dead           insects absent

night spraying            devices left

abandoned by curbside

canisters prodded by people

choked up             blistered by the touch

heat arising      its source invisible

material  emitting a glow

all well and good

to ponder

these indicators

best approached upwind

with skin covered and respiratory apparatus

secured         those on the inside do well

to turn off air conditioning  and  remain inside 

once clear   discard garments  for placement on doorstep

decontaminate the body with bleach

and water l:10 if soap is not on hand
