Tabun or GA is an extremely toxic chemical substance. It is a clear, colorless, and tasteless liquid with a faint fruity odor. It is classified as a nerve agent because it fatally interferes with normal functioning of the mammalian nervous system. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations according to UN Resolution 687. Its production is strictly controlled and stockpiling outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993. Tabun is the first of the so-called G-series nerve agents along with GB, GD and GF.
Although pure tabun is clear, less-pure tabun may be brown. It is a volatile chemical, although less so than either sarin or soman.
Tabun can be destroyed with bleaching powder, though the poisonous gas cyanogen chloride is produced.

RE: common wart
A common wart, also known as verruca vulgaris, is a small, often hard, noncancerous growth on the skin that is caused by an infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body but are frequently found on hands and feet. The appearance of common warts can vary, typically rough, round, or oval shaped and grey, brown, or yellowish in color. The size can also vary.
