Nerve Agents
• Nerve agents attack the bodies nervous system. • Nerve agents causse breathing difficulties,
convulsions, paralysis, and death. • Nerve agents can be inhaled or absorbed
through the skin. • Symptoms of nerve agent poisoning include
runny nose, tightness of chest, difficulty breathing, excessive sweating, nausea, vomiting dimness of vision, pinpointing of the pupils, convulsion, and death.

Blister Agents
• Blister agents attack the lungs, eyes, and skin.
• They blister both skin and mucous membranes.

Blood Agents
• Blood agents interfere with the bodies ability to absorb oxygen.
• The victim dies because the body tissues are starved of oxygen.
• Blood agents cause headaches, vertigo, and nausea before death.

Choking Agents
• Choking agents attack the lungs, causing them to fill with fluid. Choking agents are detected by their smell and their irritancy. The victim suffocates by drowning in his own body fluid. Choking agents cause coughing, choking, tightness of the chest, nasea, headache, and watering of the eyes.

Incapatitating Agents
• An agent that produces temporary physiological or mantal effects, or both, which will render individuals incapable of concerted effort in the performance of their assigned duties
