The nerve agent is made out of different “precursors”, which are relatively safe until they are mixed for use in a weapon. A Russian spy and his daughter were deliberately targeted with a nerve agent, police today confirmed. You can’t get that in the classroom.”The nerve agent antidote auto-injectors are designed to deliver an intramuscular injection with a 22-gauge needle with a pressure-activated coil spring mechanism that triggers the needle after removal of the safety cap. Nerve agents are the most toxic of the known chemical agents. Your pupils will then become pin pricks and won't react to light. However, compared with other highly toxic nerve agents like soman or sarin, VX undergoes relatively slow "aging".
These nerve agent antidote auto-injectors are designed to be used in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear, or CBRN, environment.Recently the U.S. Army Medical Department Board, or USAMEDDBD, assigned to the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, conducted a test of these devices at JBSA-Camp Bullis.The United States military adopted the auto-injector as the drug delivery device for chemical weapons exposure because of ease of use, packaging durability, and drug product stability under varying storage conditions.The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense’s Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Medical, or JPM CBRN Medical, at Fort Detrick, Maryland, requested the AMEDD Board conduct a customer test of the nerve agent antidote auto-injector within the operational environment. You won't be able to move and may become paralysed.You'll find it hard to breathe and you are likely to vomit violently and begin to sweat all over.You'll have seizures, uncontrollable bowel movements, an erratic heart rate and excruciating pain all over.This is because the chemicals lock the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down a key messenger signal in our muscles that tells them to stop contracting.This means the body’s muscles cannot relax, causing convulsions and death by asphyxiation due to a loss of control of the respiratory muscles.The messenger chemical, known as acetylcholine, also builds up in the brain causing it to rapidly shut down.At high enough doses a nerve agent can kill within 10 minutes.
The data and test findings collected by the AMEDD Board will be will be provided to JPM CBRN Medical.The nerve agent antidote auto-injector is a replacement for the currently fielded auto-injector for treatment against nerve agent and insecticide poisoning, adjunctive treatment, and management of agent-induced seizures.The United States military adopted the auto-injector as the drug delivery device because of ease of use, packaging durability, and drug product stability under varying storage conditions.Soldiers donned Mission Oriented Protective Posture, more commonly known as MOPP protective gear, and tested the auto-injectors in a simulated battlefield exercise complete with smoke grenades. Nerve agents are a group of human-made substances that target a certain part of the body’s nervous system.Chemical weapons that use nerve agents like tabun, sarin and VX are known to kill people with gruesome efficiency.Just 10mg of VX, for instance, can kill a human in just 10 minutes.
