New Nerve Gas Antidote

Scientists have developed a way to mass produce a new nerve gas antidote. It may even allow preventive use. This is especially good news in light of the two major flaws in the current antidote, known as atropine:

1) If you use it and you haven't been hit with nerve gas (or with too small a dose), the atropine may kill you anyway.

2) The primary battlefield application is via an auto-injector which deploys a spring-loaded, two-inch heavy gauge needle when you jab it into your upper thigh. Fun!
