What type of agents attack the enzymes that carry oxygen in the bloodstream?

Blood agents are chemicals that interfere with the body's ability to transport oxygen in the bloodstream by targeting hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that bonds with oxygen. These agents disrupt the essential process of oxygen delivery, leading to hypoxia, where tissues and organs are deprived of oxygen. They act rapidly and can be lethal, highlighting the critical nature of understanding their effects in combat scenarios or during exposure incidents. This understanding is vital for appropriate response and mitigation measures in warfare and emergency situations.

While the other types of agents certainly have harmful effects, they do not specifically target the blood's oxygen-carrying capability in the way blood agents do.
