A blister agent is a severe contact irritant. They cause severe chemical burns to any exposed tissue, resulting in large water-filled blisters forming on the affected tissue.

Alternately, these blister burst, filling the lungs with fluid. Death from inhalation of a blister agent can vary from minutes to several days later, depending on the amount of exposure (the more, the quicker the death).
