I recall reading some work by an ex-CIA engineer/chemist who worked on covert

Eventually, I replaced that with small pellets of [deleted] If you get hit with an incandescent fragment of it, you go into anaphylactic shock almost instantly. It kills you faster than you can believe I've seen films of tests on monkeys."

It's the [deleted] I don't get.
