It enters your body through your eyes mouth nose anus penis and skin then you start violently coughing then your lungs stop working due to your muscles not being innervated correctly than you asphyxiate pretty painfully under convulsions. You need to get between 86 μg to 10 mg by intake over the skin to die but other effects are like losing your eyesight or a running nose which can be also permanent and need way less of a dose
Atropine, Pralidoxime, and Diazepam within 12 hours of a lethal dose should help a lot. This is assuming that the exposure is less than the ceiling limit or the IDHL limits cause at that point it doesn’t matter anymore.
You need Atropin 5 mg every 10 minutes the sooner the better. Further you need Obidoxim-chloride but this is tricky because the longer it takes for you to get it the higher the chance that symptoms are permanent or that you die. If you start to have breathing problems it’s to late but it rly depends on yourself and the dosage when it will be to late. can be after an hour can be after 20.
I have had adductor/hamstring leg cramps in the past that were gnarly enough that my muscles bled. Big deep bruises coming up from underneath that looked like I had a broken bone or something.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)
Is an oily amber substance not a green gas. Afaik gives you a painful spasm followed from the inability to operate any muscle diaphragm included so you get contracted then flacid and die from asfixia. If you happen to survive the sarcospasm you probably wouldn’t get well anyway since the agent messes the nerve receptors forever. It can be absorbed by skin contact and the lethal dose is so low that some symptoms depicted in the wiki are more “supposed” or “by account” rather than a fact fun fact some teorize it would have been what Bruce Willis puts in his car in the movie the Jackal and kills the guy that touches it after. It acts in minutes and survival rate is almost non existent without the antidote…

How much time do I have to inject the antidote directly into my heart?
