Blister agents, sometimes called vesicants, are chemicals that cause severe and acute irritation to the skin and mucus membranes. There are innumerable weaponized blister agents, but probably the most well known is mustard gas which was used widely during the first World War. This was a Sulfur mustard but their are also Nitrogen mustards. Although developed during World War 1, the British blister agent Lewisite was never used in action and was rendered obsolete with the development of an antidote.
Mustard gas is the primary blister agent. Sulfur mustard, which is the active ingredient, contains no Mustard Seed...but it looks a little like mustard spread and smells like it, so they call it that. Very nasty stuff.
Nitrogen mustard is used in chemotherapy. It also has the potential to be a weapon of terror so its manufacture and use is closely monitored. Nitrogen mustards can be clear, pale amber, or yellow colored when in liquid or solid form. The yellow mustard color accounting for its designation as "mustard." It is not the mustard gas that was used in WWI. It is a man made substance and liquid at room temperature.
