Blood Agents

Blood agents are a type of chemical weapon that affect the respiratory and circulatory systems. They work by being absorbed into the body through breathing or skin contact, interfering with how blood carries oxygen. Some common examples of blood agents include cyanide and certain compounds that prevent oxygen from being utilized by cells. Exposure can lead to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, confusion, and loss of consciousness, making them extremely dangerous. Their use in warfare is prohibited by international treaties due to their severe and often fatal effects.
