Sarin is a deadly poison, it is human-made and can be found in water, cloths, and food. In the 1980's this chemical was used in the Iran-Iraq war and later was used in two Japan terrorist attacks in 1994 and 1995. Since this poison mixes easily in water, anyone who drinks or even touches this poison water will die within a few hours. When cloths come in contact with Sarin it takes only 18 hours to take affect to the body. The nerve agents cause Sarin's toxic effects by preventing the proper operation of the chemical that acts as the body’s “off switch” for glands and muscles. Without an “off switch,” the glands and muscles are constantly being stimulated. When Sarin enters the body the it presents an immediate but short lived threat. The symptoms of Sarin are: Runny nose, eye pain, blurred vision, cough, and drooling. Even a small drop of Sarin n the skin can cause nerve damage. Almost all cases of Sarin poison have killed it's victims.
