An important note, 'cyanide smells like bitter almonds' *does not mean it smells like almonds.* The sweetish almond smell most people know is benzaldehyde, which is relatively harmless. If you were to acquire enough bitter almonds and crush them together with a strong acid, _then_ you would smell hydrogen cyanide, which has a sharp smell more akin to chlorine. Cyanide salts such as potassium cyanide have no detectable odour on their own.
I've heard this before actually, also that the smell is subjective and or actually the smell of another chemical in the mixture as well, like the smell of coins is more likely the smell of bacteria or other Contaminates on the coins, 8 think the smell on the international space station is outgassing from materials used to build the space station itself, since I've never been there to smell it myself it could be Mass hysteria , it all came from One person saying it smelled like something LoL 😊
Picking up where TTX left off, we have nerve agents. Sarin, tabun, soman, VX and the Novichok agents. Those poisons are an entirely different level of terrifying.
Aw. You didn't mention my favourite horrorshow substance: Dimethyl Mercury To be fair, it not used as a poison because it's so dangerous it's impractical.
I made a presentation on botulism for my pre-nursing classes. It turned out to be extremely interesting. The spores of clostridium botulinum are literally everywhere, but do not usually cause harm. The organism itself is not harmful. The toxin they produce as a byproduct of their digestive process is the problem. That's why adults can swallow the spores. They are killed by the human digestive system before they cause harm. However, rarely, babies can get botulism by ingesting the spores because their digestive systems are weaker. Occasionally, it causes a severe infection in a wound as well, often in those who use black tar heroin. Animals can get botulism, most notably birds. If you see a bird that is dead, but doesn't appear to have anything wrong with it- be careful. It may have botulism. Also, the botulinum organism is related to the organism that causes tetanus. Both are in the clostridium family. Both produce neurotoxins that cause paralysis. However, botulism causes paralysis by relaxing the muscles and; and not allowing contraction. Tetanus causes paralysis by contracting the muscles and not allowing relaxation. The latter is much more painful, leading to broken bones and a broken spine. It's a very painful way to die.
Geographer cone snail One sting from this predatory snail could kill many adults. One component of its venom, which needs to be deadly and fast-acting to swiftly kill its fish prey, has an LD50 of 0.012.
@ I honestly had never heard of it before. I've always heard the phrase as "don't drink the Kool-Aid", so I just assumed that they actually used Kool-Aid. Gotta admit; kind of disappointed… Lol
The british gov didnt consider that guy who murdered 3 young girls and stabbed many more as a terrorist, he had ricin at home. Not sure its tskrn seriously anymore.
Why is it always the same list of toxins? Sideprojects had already done a list on this with most of these on it. TopTenz has done lists with these same ones. Other channels have the same ones. There are a lot more out there, put a tad bit of effort into the scripts and do a different set for once.
Without saying it explicitly, you only considered chemical toxins right? Since once we get into death by radiation we get things like the well-known Polonium. It is estimated to be more potent than any of the poisons mentioned in the video. In addition it famously was also used as such.
It's quite prominent in apple seeds, and everyone knows, but if you let it evaporate from the mushed seeds, you are losing your poison. Castor beans is where it's at.
Everytime i can or preserve food from my garden I sing a song about botulism. 😂 No joke. I mean it is rare here. The point is to be mindful and not skip steps.
@dlevi67 I acquired the immunity,12 years in the Army will do that, and I took over the cooking duties. Course, I divorced the witch and only had a bad case of diarrhea, but it was touch and go for awhile. LOL!!!
So true. I had it many years ago and thought it was pretty tasteless. Worth the experience trying it, but definitely not worth the price for repeat eating.
@@DannyMcNabb-p4m yep haha, I think a few people saw the video pretty much simultaneously (on the video when I commented, it said there was 3 comments despite there being none, so I assume the back-end of YT was working posting them lmao)

That has absolutely nothing to do with how dangerous the poison is, though. Hell, the Golden Lancehead Viper has some of the most potent venom among snakes, but as far as we can tell, they have never killed anyone
I'm suprised the video didn't open with the supposed meaning behind the "Cheers!" tapping of glasses. Edit: Trump has pardoned all pedophiles involved in presidential attacks.
It literally wasn't. Flavor-aid is it's own thing, a knock-off of Kool-aid. I'm pretty sure Kool-aid would rather not be associated with that very famous tragedy.
Except, that's NOT what was used. You are actively on the internet while making this completely incorrect comment. Take 30 seconds and actually look things up next time.

Symptoms of Tetrodotoxin poisoning sound like what I go through when I forget to take my meds for a few days 😵💫🤢
No mention of polonium?
Is Flavorade just an offbrand powdered water flavor additive? Or was it just a way of avoiding trademarks, lol.
No no, you had it correct, it's a generic version of Kool Aid
Generic kool-aid
@ huh... imagine the epitaph: "killed by offbrand Kool-Aid" 🤦
Tell me you've never been poor without telling me. 😂😂😂 Yes you got it right though. Not all off brands are available outside of poverty areas. 😢

How does risin relate to the castor oil used on shows like "Little House on the Prairie"?
I had Arsenic poisoning as a kid. Rough thing to go through.
@0:01 Fentanyl wasn't on the list! 😢😢😢
Still not as toxic as fart in elevator after taco night
No mention of dimethyl mercury?
With our lucky, these poisons to us could be like candy to aliens 👽
The british gov didnt consider that guy who murdered 3 young girls and stabbed many more as a terrorist, he had ricin at home. Not sure its tskrn seriously anymore.
And none of these compare with Dimethyl Mercury. Takes longer but what an absolutely horrible way to go.
Yes where can i get them.. so i can avoid them

Poison is dangerous, news at 11
Shouldn't this be over on Into the shadows?
Surprised anthrax wasn't mentioned.
Anthrax is a bacterial spore infection. Bacillus Anthracis is the name of the bacteria
@ So it's technically not a poison?
@bluegold1026 I mean, he added botulinum, so I guess it technically should be at least an honorable mention
Botulinum toxin is a molecule so a poison. Anthrax is a bacterial infection so not a poison
Need to check your audio settings: (low and slightly muffled)
Without saying it explicitly, you only considered chemical toxins right? Since once we get into death by radiation we get things like the well-known Polonium. It is estimated to be more potent than any of the poisons mentioned in the video. In addition it famously was also used as such.
Fun fact about ricin, the plant who makes it is very common in some areas
Yep. Castor bean is in a lot of places naturally.
@@discomfortzonefactsssss lots and lots of places
It's quite prominent in apple seeds, and everyone knows, but if you let it evaporate from the mushed seeds, you are losing your poison. Castor beans is where it's at.
I mean, arsenic can be made from apple seeds.....
Was the person in charge of focusing the camera poisoned?
And audio was a bit off

Has anyone ever smelled bitter almonds? 😂
My ex-girlfriend's heart is the deadliest poison. Oh wait, she never had a heart to begin with!
good idea simon lets get this information out there ! really
The ricin thing with Obama was my wife's cousin. She tried to pin it on her husband.
ITS RICIN, DON'T ASK ME WHY!
For the algorithm
My wife's cooking; meatloaf shouldn't glow in the dark.
Ah Fugu very over rated it basically tastes like what you dip it in, no real taste of its own
So true. I had it many years ago and thought it was pretty tasteless. Worth the experience trying it, but definitely not worth the price for repeat eating.
lol@ "naRRRsty"
No iocane powder. Boo
Only the Dread pirate Roberts knows..

Poison dangerous and water is wet, tonight on DUH
Yeah, pointing out THAT they are dangerous isn't the point of the video.

what about fentanyl
that's not a poison, it's an Opioid.
