Vesicants, such as sulfur mustard and lewisite, are man-made chemical agents that act rapidly to burn and blister the skin, mucous membranes, airways, and gastrointestinal system. These agents can cause severe tissue damage and are considered chemical warfare agents due to their harmful effects on humans.
The symptoms described resemble those of sulfur mustard (HD), a potent blister agent used in chemical warfare. Sulfur mustard exposure causes painful, corrosive burns to the skin and mucous membranes, leading to blister formation. Immediate decontamination and medical treatment are crucial in cases of sulfur mustard exposure to minimize further damage and complications.
Sarin is a nerve agent, not a vesicant blister agent. Vesicant blister agents such as lewisite, phosgene oxime, and nitrogen mustard cause blistering on the skin and mucous membranes. Sarin, on the other hand, disrupts the nervous system and does not primarily cause blistering.
In the context of blister copper, "blister" refers to the appearance of the copper after it is extracted and processed. Blister copper contains gas bubbles that form during the smelting process, giving it a blistered or bubbly appearance.

Blister agents primarily target the skin and mucous membranes. When exposed, these chemical agents cause painful blisters and lesions, leading to severe skin damage. They can also affect the eyes and respiratory tract, resulting in further complications and potential long-term health effects. Overall, blister agents cause significant harm to both external and internal tissues.

The M256A1 Chemical Agent Detector Kit can detect nerve, blister, and blood agents, such as sarin, sulfur mustard, and cyanide, as well as certain toxic industrial compounds.
A blister is a small bubble between layers of skin which contains watery or bloody fluid and is caused by friction and pressure, burning, freezing, chemical irritation, disease or infection.
