A nerve agent is a substance which is intended for use in military operations to kill, seriously injure or incapacitate people because of its physiological effects. Exposure to nerve agents, through various routes, can affect the lungs, heart, sweat glands, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, bladder and blood vessels. Can progress very quickly to paralysis, respiratory arrest and death.
