Yes, nerve agents are toxic in all forms, whether as gases, liquids, or aerosols. Their chemical structure allows them to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to a buildup of acetylcholine in the nervous system, which can cause paralysis and death. The severity of toxicity can vary based on the agent's form, concentration, and exposure route, but all forms pose significant health risks. Proper handling and protective measures are essential to mitigate their dangers.
Nerve agents effect the junctions between nerve cells. Nerve agents prevent signals crossing the nerve junctions so all communication between nerve cells stops and no signals can get through from the brain.
Yes they are - they are all toxic and corrosive.
All animals are affected by toxic chemicals.
The reason why a peripheral nerve such as the sciatic nerve can contain nerve fiber from several spinal nerves is owing to nerve plexuses. These are networks of nerves all tangled together and found mostly in the limbs.
Cyanide compounds can be found in various forms, such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sodium cyanide (NaCN), potassium cyanide (KCN), and cyanogen chloride (CNCl). These compounds are highly toxic and can be lethal in small concentrations.
Nerve agents are highly toxic in all forms (solid, liquid, or vapor)

Exposure to nerve agents can cause symptoms such as nausea, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Immediate medical attention is crucial in cases of nerve agent exposure to prevent serious health consequences or death. Protective gear should be worn when handling or working in environments where nerve agents may be present.
Nerve agents affect the transmission of nerve impulses in your nervous system. Nerve agents can affect the central nervous system, the respiratory system as well as cholinergic nervous system.

Alcohol, in addition to being a drug in all senses of the word, is a neurotoxin (nerve poison).
There are certain types of mold which are considered toxic. Certain molds excrete toxic compounds called mycotoxins which can be lethal-not all mycotoxins are lethal. It is best to get a residence or public building tested for toxic forms of mold. Not doing so can become a serious legal threat to landlords. Below is an article on toxic molds.
Atropine is combined with pralidoxime chloride to counteract organophosphate poisoning (used in some but not all modern nerve agents as well as insectocides).
A backbone, obviously which is a central nerve cord for the body. all advanced forms of life have this. And the backbone is connected directly to the brain
