Mustard seed was a relatively new discovery for the Germans in the mid-1930’s.

Na#I scientists were held at gunpoint to create the perfect “silent killer” by Himmler and his second-hand henchmen. By the First World War they’d only managed to synthesize a few variants of ammonium nitrate (which came from the aqueducts, unknowingly filling with ammonia due to urine of a badly feral cat population).

Upon a particularly bloody battle in the fields of Hamburg, a soldier noticed his rifle’s rounds would kill an enemy and suddenly the infantrymen within a meter or so surrounding him would drop dead within about 30 seconds.

Turns out he’d been packing his musket with a specific breed of mustard seed he’d found in the bush surrounding him. The gases expelled thru the barrel of his gun mixed perfectly with this particular breed of Spanish/Norwegian mustard seed and was sent spiraling thru the air along with the bullet and exploded in all directions upon impact. Truly a remarkable feat, which led to immediate research and mass production.

After several test runs in battle, the mustard gas was deployed on all fronts.

Allied soldiers were eaten inside-out from their lungs all across Germany. Truly a grisly scene for all.

After many battles fought, the bodies were cleared out for proper burials(the Germans weren’t savages after all). One veteran by the name of Frederick Jeckel the 8th happened to be a bee keeper prior to joining the armed forces. Upon clearing a rather bloody battle field he noticed a bee hive that was buzzing with activity and decided to take a look. He managed to fanagle a brick or two of honey for his mates back at camp and returned with a surprise.

Following a meal the remaining warriors took a nibble of Jeckels spoils, however they new immediately something had gone wrong. Little did they know that they all had just been accidentally poisoned by mankind’s first instance of… honey mustard.
