From: POORE@SCRI1.SCRI.FSU.EDU (DAVID) I had an interesting converstation yesterday with an Army Reserve Nurse, who had some comments which I've yet to see illuminated in these discussions about chemical warfare. She has been trained in MOPP suits and says that they are indeed very hot. According to her, the suits are water permeable, such that a very sweaty individual could easily soak the charcoal lining, thus rendering the suit useless. Any comments?
