Signs of nerve agent exposure can include pinpoint pupils, drooling, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, and seizures. Immediate medical attention is required if exposure is suspected.
These symptoms may indicate exposure to a nerve agent, which is a type of chemical warfare agent. Nerve agents can cause severe physiological reactions, including respiratory distress, convulsions, and pinpoint pupils due to their mechanism of action on the nervous system. Immediate medical attention is critical for anyone exhibiting these symptoms following potential CBRNE exposure.

Convulsions/seizures
There are several types of convulsions, primarily categorized into two main groups: generalized and focal. Generalized convulsions affect both sides of the brain and include types like tonic-clonic seizures, absence seizures, and myoclonic seizures. Focal convulsions, on the other hand, originate in one specific area of the brain and can manifest as simple partial seizures or complex partial seizures. Each type varies in symptoms and duration, reflecting different underlying neurological conditions.
