There are many poisons in this world.
But the deadly levels vary,
Of the many poisons, there are at least 5 very deadly poisons.
Some of them have been used to kill some of the world's most famous people.

1.ARSENIC

When talking about deadly poisons, people usually immediately remember arsenic.

This is the poison that is believed to be the cause (intentionally or not) of the death of King George III of England, Napoleon Bonaparte, to Emperor Gaungxu of China.

Arsenic in its original form can be found in the Earth's crust, with a percentage of around 0,00015 percent.

For hundreds of years, these ingredients - in safe levels of courses - are used to treat several diseases, including thrush and syphilis.

This poison is very deadly and only needs 200 milligrams, equivalent to one drop of rain, to make someone die in two hours.
People affected by this toxin usually experience vomiting, convulsions, and then die.
Not surprisingly, arsenic was nicknamed the king of poison.

2 . DIGOXIN
This poison was discovered by William Withering in 1775 and is present in foxglove flowers, striking wildflowers shaped like bells, usually grown in European forests.
If toxins enter the bloodstream, the heart rate can slow down and eventually stop working.
Before the heart fails to function, someone who is exposed to digoxin toxins will experience stomach aches and severe headaches.

3 . POLONIUM

Polonium poison was discovered by Marie Curie in 1898 and he died of radiation from this poison for years.
Polonium can be found in soil and atmosphere.
In just one milligram - equivalent to the size of dust - if swallowed it will make people die.

This poison killed the Russian secret agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. The poison enters Litvinenko's body through tea.
Polonium has no taste and no smell, making it an "ideal weapon" to kill someone.
Once inside the vital organs, polonium will cause hair loss, vomiting, and diarrhea.
No antidote has been found and people affected by polonium usually die on a daily basis.

4 . TETRODOTOXIN

Tetrodotoxin, often also called TTX, is a poison found in certain types of fish such as pufferfish and blue ring octopus.

TTX is actually a 'self-defense tool' for puffer fish. When eaten by predators, this fish will release TTX to kill predators.
If swallowed, this toxin causes the tongue and mouth to burn, followed by excessive sweating. Victims usually cannot breathe or speak, convulsions, and vital organs do not function.
Within six hours the victim can die.
So far the TTX antidote has not been found. B

5 . BOTULINUM

Clostridium Botulinum bacteria was discovered by Emile van Ermengen in 1895 when he discovered dozens of people exposed to the bacteria.

In safe quantities, ingredients taken from these bacteria become drugs.

In the late 1980s the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed the use of Botulinum as a drug and since then Botox was born, which is actually a trademark of Botulinum Toxin A.
If injected in a lethal amount into the bloodstream, the victim can experience vital organ failure and cannot breathe.

In two kilograms, poison is enough to kill the entire world population. (Gloria Setyvani Putri)
