Which vesicant (blister agent) is suspected in a patient suffering from painful highly corrosive burns similar to acid and wheals have begun to appear on the skin?
A patient is suffering from painful, highly corrosive burns similar to acid, and wheals have begun to appear on the skin. Which vesicant (blister agent) is suspected?
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 blister agent causes highly corrosive burns similar to acid and wheals?
Sulfur mustard, also known as mustard gas, is a blister agent that can cause highly corrosive burns resembling acid burns and wheals on the skin. It is a powerful vesicant that can cause severe tissue damage upon contact.

A patient is suffering from painful highly corrosive burns similar to acid and wheals have begun to appear on the skin. Which vesicant (blister agent) is susp?
The symptoms described resemble those of sulfur mustard (HD), a potent blister agent used in chemical warfare. Sulfur mustard exposure causes painful, corrosive burns to the skin and mucous membranes, leading to blister formation. Immediate decontamination and medical treatment are crucial in cases of sulfur mustard exposure to minimize further damage and complications.
Which vesicant is suspected with painful highly corrosive burns similar to acid with wheals on the skin?
Phosgene oxime, or CX.
