* Probably the earliest example of a [[Hazmat Suit]] was the [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctorPlague doctor|Plague Doctor]] outfit worn in Medieval Europe during Black Death epidemics. It consisted of thick leather gloves and boots, heavy oilcloth cloak and pants covering the whole body, and the iconic "bird-man" mask which gave rise to one of the most popular Venetian masks around, the eponymous ''[[Gratuitous Italian|medico della peste]]''. The mask included the goggles covering the eyes and aromatic herbs in the beak, that supposedly ward off the plague "miasma" and certainly masked the stench of decaying bodies and leaking buboes of the patients. Apparently, these worked quite well.
