HD (Distilled Mustard)

• Blister agent

• Primary usage: Delayed-action casualty agent

• Enters body primarily through skin, respiratory tract and digestive tract. H damages any tissue it contacts: severity directly relates to the concentration of the agent and the duration of contact with skin

• Symptoms: Inflammation of the eyes, inflammation of the nose, throat, trachea, bronchi, and lung tissue; redness of the skin, blister or ulceration; more "at ease" attitude, vomitting; and fever, beginning about same time as skin reddening
