Nitric acid (HNO₃) is a highly toxic, highly corrosive acid capable of causing severe burns.

In Seska's rewritten version of the holodeck program Insurrection Alpha, The Doctor applied 20 ccs of nitric acid to a wound Tom Paris had received, noting it as "a little proverbial salt in the wound." (VOY: "Worst Case Scenario")
