incapacitating agents

Incapacitating agents are substances used to temporarily impair an individual's ability to function normally, often in military or law enforcement contexts. They disrupt the nervous system or physiological processes, causing effects like confusion, weakness, or unconsciousness, without permanently damaging health. These agents are designed to neutralize or control people without causing death, allowing for transportation or detention. Examples include certain nerve agents or chemical compounds that affect the nervous system, but they are dangerous and controlled due to their potential for harm and misuse.
