👉 A nerve weapon is a chemical agent designed to incapacitate or kill by disrupting the nervous system. These agents work by interfering with nerve cell communication, leading to paralysis or death. Common nerve agents include sarin, soman, and VX, which can be released through various means such as sprays, aerosols, or contaminated materials. Exposure can occur via inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, making them particularly dangerous due to their rapid onset and severe effects. Due to their potency and potential for widespread use, nerve weapons are subject to strict international regulations under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
