I was reading about the [Novichok agent](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/kbyxet/a_little_wordplay/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and I’d like to know more about how it works along with other nerve agents without the complicated science jargon.
In: Biology
There are several kinds of poisons that are referred to as nerve agents, but Novichok works by essentially overriding the functions in your brain that would normally run the muscles that operate things like breathing and heart function. This basically makes them seize up, which as you can imagine is not good for you.
