Incapacitation. Often by irritating mucous membranes to restrict breathing and/or vision.
3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (BZ) is a powerful anticholinergic drug that acts on the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, agitation, and delirium. It blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, leading to a range of effects on the body, including decreased cognitive function, dry mouth, dilated pupils, and increased heart rate. In high doses, BZ can induce incapacitation and potentially be lethal.
The primary active agent identified to date is 9-tetrahydro-cannabinol, known as THC.
One chemical agent considered to be a slow effect agent is tabun. It is considered a "nerve agent" since it attacks the nervous system. Its symptoms usually present themselves slowly when absorbed through the skin.
Atropine is an agent that blocks parasympathetic nerve impulses by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors. It is commonly used in medical settings to increase heart rate and dilate the pupils.
Digoxin is primarily an inotropic agent, meaning it helps to increase the contraction strength of the heart muscle. It can also have mild effects on chronotropy (heart rate) and dromotropy (conduction velocity) by slowing down the heart rate and conduction through the atrioventricular node.

It is an Incapacitating agent
A casualty suffering from exposure to an incapacitating agent may require immediate decontamination to remove the agent from their skin and clothing. Supportive care, including monitoring vital signs and providing oxygen if needed, is essential. In some cases, specific antidotes may be administered depending on the type of agent involved. Medical professionals should also assess and manage any psychological effects resulting from the exposure.
