human discovery of poisons is an accident. It may be that some plants contain highly toxic when cooking or unknowingly found. Countless poisons have been invented and discovered in human history. The American Journal of science once rated the top ten deadly poisons in the world.
1. Botox
it is really not easy to choose the most lethal poison in the world, but experts unanimously agree that Botox should bear the brunt, and its lethality is far more than sarin. It will destroy people’s nervous system and make people die in extreme pain. However, it can play a miraculous role in reducing wrinkles.
II. Ricin (intake or inhalation)
ricin is extracted from castor bean. Ricin can cause respiratory and organ failure, resulting in death within a few hours. Sometimes, chewing a small amount of castor can be fatal.
III. anthrax (inhalation)
skin contact with anthrax can be fatal, but the most common is inhalation anthrax. It will first cause a cold and then completely destroy people’s respiratory system.
IV. sarin poison gas (inhalation)
is a deadly poison gas, and its lethality is hundreds of times that of cyanide. As long as you inhale a small mouthful, people will foam at the mouth, fall into a coma and finally die. Initially, sarin was used as an insecticide and was identified as an illegal agent in 1997.
v. tetrodotoxin (intake)
is found in puffer fish (the famous Japanese food puffer fish). Even cooked puffer fish, its toxin still exists. If people eat it, they will be paralyzed or even die within 6 hours. More than five people die of the toxin in Japan every year.
VI. cyanide (intake or inhalation)
cyanide has various forms, which not only exists in nature, but also easy to produce. It can cause seizures, cardiac arrest, and large doses can kill people in a few seconds.
VII. Mercury poisoning (inhalation)
a small amount of mercury is not very harmful to adults, but inhalation of mercury vapor (metal Mercury turns into gas at room temperature) will cause fatal damage to human brain, lung and central nervous system.
VIII. Strychnine (ingestion or inhalation)
strychnine is a common pesticide, and its lethality is not as strong as those listed above. However, the death caused by it is extremely terrible: all muscles in people will spasm violently until they are tired to death.
IX. Amanita toxin (intake)
Amanita toxin comes from a poisonous mushroom, which can destroy people’s liver and kidney in a few days. People will soberly feel the extreme pain from the body until coma and death.
X. tetramine (ingestion or inhalation)
as a rodenticide, the toxicity of tetramine has proved to be too strong. Toxins in the bodies of poisoned organisms can exist for up to a year. It is odorless, tasteless, soluble in water and has no antidote. Tetramine hinders human metabolism, resulting in rapid death and accompanied by physical pain.
