Editing Soman (section)

==Signs and symptoms==
As soman is closely related to compounds such as sarin, indications for a soman poisoning are relatively similar. One of the first observable signs of a soman poisoning is [[miosis]]. Some, but not all of the later indications are vomiting, extreme muscle pain and peripheral nervous system problems.  Those symptoms show as soon as 10 minutes after exposure and may last for many days.<ref name="informahealthcare">{{Cite journal |doi = 10.3109/15563657408987971|pmid = 4838227|title = Soman and Sarin: Clinical Manifestations and Treatment of Accident of Accidental Poisoning by Organophosphates|journal = Clinical Toxicology|volume = 7|issue = 1|pages = 1–17|year = 1974|last1 = Sidell|first1 = Frederick R.}}</ref>

In addition to the direct toxic effects on the nervous system, people exposed to soman may experience long-term effects, most of which are psychological. Subjects who were exposed to a small dose of soman suffered severe toxic effects; once treated, the subjects often developed depression, had antisocial thoughts, were withdrawn and subdued, slept restlessly and had bad dreams. These symptoms lasted six months after exposure but disappeared without lasting damage.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sidell|first=F.
