Blister agents, also known as vesicants, primarily include substances like mustard gas, lewisite, and phosgene oxime, which cause severe blistering and damage to the skin and mucous membranes. However, agents such as nerve agents (e.g., sarin or VX) do not fall under the category of blister agents, as they function primarily by disrupting the nervous system rather than causing blisters. Therefore, any mention of nerve agents would be an exception in the context of blister agents.

Vesicant blister agents include sarin lewisite phosgen oxime or nitrogen mustard?
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.
What symptoms do blister agents cause?
Blister agents can cause symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, and blistering, as well as eye irritation, respiratory distress, and gastrointestinal issues if ingested. Additionally, exposure to blister agents can lead to long-term health effects, such as skin cancer and respiratory problems.
