	Blister Agent: HD
		Blister fluids may be drained under sterile conditions; while blister fluids should not be dangerous (sulfur mustard reacts very rapidly), there have been anecdotal reports that suggest blister fluids can display vesicant action in rare cases.
		Detection of chemical agents was in its infancy, relying for the most part on human senses - if someone detected an agent by smell, appearance of a cloud, or seeing a shell that burst in a manner suggesting that it was a gas shell, then that person would sound an alarm.
		A small amount of a blistering agent believed to be mustard gas, possibly supplied by Egypt, was used in a mortar attack in October of 1981.

	CDC \|\| Toxic Syndrome Description: Vesicant/Blister Agent Poisoning
		Vesicants, also referred to as “blister agents,” were the most commonly used chemical warfare agents during World War I. The most likely routes of exposure are inhalation, dermal contact, and ocular contact.
		Depending on the vesicant, clinical effects may occur immediately (as with phosgene oxime or lewisite) or may be delayed for 2 to 24 hours (as with mustards).
		Following exposure, the most commonly encountered clinical effects include dermal (skin erythema and blistering), respiratory (pharyngitis, cough, dyspnea), ocular (conjunctivitis and burns), and gastrointestinal (nausea and vomiting).

	'No blister agent' in Iraq shells (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is not clear why initial tests first showed they could contain blister gas, the Danish army said in a statement carried by the AP news agency.
		The 36 shells were found in southern Iraq buried among building equipment, even though they appeared to have been abandoned for at least 10 years.
		Field tests conducted by British and Danish inspectors indicated that the shells - found on 9 January - contained traces of blister gases - including mustard gas compounds.

	Emergency Preparedness and Response: Safety and Health Guides - Blister Agents
		Blister agents have been used as chemical warfare agents, in World War I (1914-1918) and the Iran-Iraq war (1984-1988).
		Blister agents or "vesicants" are chemicals which have severely irritating properties that produce fluid filled pockets on the skin and damage to the eyes, lungs and other mucous membranes.
		Blister agents (whether as a gas, aerosol, or liquid) enter the body primarily through inhalation and dermal contact.

	[No title]
		Other blister agents are sulfur mustard (HD), nitrogen mustard (HN), Lewisite (L), an arsenic containing vesicant, and phosgene oxime (CX), a halogenated oxime that is much different in properties and toxicity as the other agents.
		Mustard gas is a greater threat in hot and humid climates as a blister agent.
		The extent of the blisters is determined by the amount and area of exposure, and this will determine the course of the immediate illness from mustard gas.

	Scenario 5: Chemical Attack ? Blister Agent
		General Description — Agent YELLOW, which is a mixture of the blister agents sulfur Mustard and Lewisite, is a liquid with a garlic-like odor.
		The agent directly contaminates the stadium and the immediate surrounding area, and generates a downwind vapor hazard.
		However, many will inhale sufficient agent vapor to cause severe lung damage, and many more will sustain permanent damage to the eyes.

	CDC \| Emergency Response Card: Information for First Responders - Blister Agent: Lewisite
		The primary mode for decontamination of chemical agents is soap and water.
		Cover with vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, clay, or fine sand and neutralize as soon as possible using large amounts of alcoholic caustic, carbonate, or Decontaminating Agent (DS2).
		In chemical agent grade Lewisite, the L-1 isomer [2-Chlorovinylarsonous dichloride] generally predominates.
