Top 10 Most Deadliest Poisons In The World
1. Botulinum Toxin
A new variant of botulinum toxin, “type H” is so dangerous that researchers have decided to withhold publishing information about it, over concern it could be used as a bioweapon. New Scientist reported that inhaling just 13 billionths of a gram of the stuff, or an injection of just 2 billionths of a gram, could kill an adult. The toxin is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulin. Its poisonous form is botulism, which can be found in food, but can be killed by heating food to over 100°C. Surprisingly, is used for medical and cosmetic procedures like Botox.
