Theoretically...: ...Mustard gas can damage dna - this was noticed when mustard gas survivors came back with low white blood cell counts - but unlikely to produce mutations with specific neurologic effects. Also, mustard gas was used during wwi, not wwii, although it was stockpiled in several places, with accidental exposures possible though not as likely as battle exposures in wwi.
