Poisoning substances lump us everywhere. Some of them have a practically instant effect, others can act slowly. The degree of intoxication in each particular case is different. It depends on the characteristics of the body and the number of poison in the body. Therefore, it is problematic to determine the strongest poison in the world. Nevertheless, you can highlight a list of poisoning substances that represent the greatest danger.
The strongest poisoning chemicals
Powerful poisons are synthesized by military scholars. But sometimes poisoning substances can meet in domestic conditions. Among the most dangerous of them can be allocated:
- Mercury. It is contained in conventional thermometers. If the integrity of the flask is not broken, then no danger to mercury does not represent. Maturity of mercury from a broken thermometer can cause irreparable harm. The evaporation process begins even at room temperature. Collect the distilled mercury on its own prohibited. It is necessary to immediately seek help in a specialized service.
- Methanol. This substance is often confused with food ethyl alcohol, which leads to serious poisoning. Methanol has no color and smell, so it is impossible to identify it without laboratory examination. The use of even a small amount of this substance threatens with a fatal outcome. A man loses his eyesight.
- Calyan potassium. This is the strongest poison for a person. It is widely used in the production of plastic products, photographs, gold mining and some other areas. The poisoning occurs even from inhalation of cyanide vapors. In the shortest possible time, respiratory failure is developing, convulsions appear. In case of severe intoxication, death comes.
- Zarin. This is a substance that has been synthesized by German scientists. They chased the goal of creating the strongest pesticide in the world. The resulting gas received the glory of poison, which causes a long and painful death. Today, the deadly poison of Zaror is officially banned, but terrorists are trying to apply it as a chemical weapon.
- Arsenic. This element of the Mendeleev table has long been used as a poison. They were poisoned a lot of political figures. Symptoms of poisoning is similar to cholera. First of all, convulsions and severe pain in the abdomen appear. After entering the body of a large number of arsenic, heart disease, diabetes or cancer are developing.
These substances are extremely dangerous for a person. Therefore, their features must be remembered.
The most dangerous poisons for a person are also contained in plants. Such poisoning often lies with inexperienced mushrooms and other felief lovers. Special attention deserves the following substances:
- Amatoksin is the strongest poison of protein nature. It is contained in some mushrooms, including in pale leaf. Finding into the human body, toxin immediately begins to destroy the internal organs. The first signs of intoxication can manifest only a few days later. In this case, the valuable time is missed for rescue, and guarantee a favorable prognosis doctors cannot. Even if the patient's life can be saved, his health will be strongly undermined. Most likely, a person will torment the renal or liver failure, problems with the respiratory system. Often, people wonder what toxic pale refining or cyanide potassium. In fact, these poisons for the degree of toxicity can be put on one stage.
- Strychnine. This poison is part of chilibuch wood nuts. In microscopic dosages, it is used for medical purposes. If the permissible amount is exceeded, death occurs, but before that, a person is experiencing strong torment.
- Ricin. Contained in Kleschin. Presents the danger inhalation of small grains of this substance. Its poisoning ability is several times greater than cyanide potassium. The death of a person comes if you enter the ricin directly into the blood.
- Coarara. It is a poison that is produced from a mixture of South America plants. Its main component becomes an alkaloid, which when entering the body leads to paralysis and stopping heart. Death from Kurara is painful.
To avoid poisoning with such poisons, never eat unknown plants. Teach children precautions during a ride in nature.
When the first symptoms of poisoning are found, contact the doctor immediately. The chances of salvation remain only subject to the timely identification of the problem.
Poisons of animal origin
The poison can kill a person instantly. Such poisoning substances often carry animals. Among them can be allocated:
- Toads Chiriki. The skin of these amphibians allocates chiriktotoxin. This neurotoxin poison effectively affects the human nervous system. After intoxication, a person appears strong convulsions, the coordination of movements is disturbed, complete paralysis of the limbs can develop. The poison has a strong impact in the case of its introduction intramuscularly.
- Fuga fug. In milk, Ires and liver of this fish contains Tetrodotoxin. This substance causes severe poisoning, which is accompanied by a strong itching, solubling, convulsions, difficulty swallowing. The poison is fast, so in the shortest possible time the palsy of the respiratory system develops and the death of a person comes.
- Australian Tipan. The poison of this snake contains tipotoxin. His hit in the blood of a person leads to a paralysis of the respiratory muscles and a violation of blood coagulation. Such a snake poison is the most poisonous. According to the poisoning ability, it is several times the cobra poison.
- Karakurt. During the bite, the spider injected the victims of alpha latrotoxin into the blood. It leads to the appearance of severe pain, which is distributed throughout the body for days. At the same time, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, heartbeat, torment the bouts of vomiting.
- Central Asian Cobra. In the saliva, this snake contains strong neurotoxin. His human getting into the blood provokes convulsions, respiratory disorder, paralysis. In the absence of treatment, death comes. Such poisoning rarely happen, as Cobra attacks a person only in exceptional cases.
Pill may be contained in biological material of any animal. Therefore, it is best to minimize contacts with him, especially this concerns the wild representatives of the fauna.
If you were bitten by a poisonous snake or spider, try to immediately suck the poison from the wound. Remember that this can be done only if there are no damage in the oral cavity. Consult your medical care as soon as possible.
Bacteriological poisoning
Danger for a person can carry not only animals and plants, but also bacteria. Their vital activity in the human body leads to the formation of the strongest toxins. Among them, you can especially allocate the following:
- Botulinoplexin. It is produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. Its life activity leads to the development of botulism in humans. This is a disease that is treatable only in the earliest stages. In other cases, the likelihood of death is extremely large. Bacterry quickly multiplies in the absence of oxygen, so the source of poisoning often become poorly qualified canned food.
- Bacillus of Siberian ulcers. Her getting into the body leads to the development of Siberian ulcers. This disease develops rapidly. Selects skin and intestinal form. In the first case, the fatal outcome occurs in 20% of cases. In the intestinal form of the disease, no more than 5% of victims can be saved.
- Tetanus toxin. This substance produces chopsticks of the genus Clostridium. Infection most often happens through open wounds on the body. Infection is manifested in the form of convulsion, disorders of swallowing reflex, lesions of the respiratory center and the cardiovascular system. The probability of death is extremely large.
Determine the fastest poison is quite difficult. Everything will depend on the combination of many factors. Try to contact with hazardous substances as possible. If the infection still happened, do not try to cure yourself. Only timely appeal for medical help will save you life.
Average deadly dose, DL50 (Lat. Dosis Letalis) causes half of experimental animals (DL100 - dose, minimally sufficient to kill everyone who received it). DL is measured in milligrams of a substance per 1 kg of body weight of the animal (mg / kg), in our rating indicated in brackets after the name of the substance. So, the top 10 of the most toxic poisons with DL50 is for mice with intramuscular administration.
Neurotoxin II (0.085 mg / kg)
Source: Component poison Cobra Central Asian (Naja Oxiana).
The poison of this snake is extremely strong. When bite, it has a neurotoxic effect. After the bite, the victim becomes sluggish, but soon the body begins to shake cramps, breathing becomes superficial. The lethal exodus occurs after a while due to the paralysis of the respiratory tract. Local manifestations (hematomas, tumors) in the bite of the Central Asian Cobra does not occur.
Central Asian Cobra, the length of which reaches 1.5-1.6 m, is distributed in North-West India, in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Northeast Iran. In Central Asia, this snake is found in Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The northern border of the range - the ridge of Nura-Tau and the Mountains of Bel-Tau-Ata, Western - the spurs of the Turkestan Range.
Alpha Latrotoxin (0.045 mg / kg)
Source: Contained in Phase 31 types of Latrodectus species (Karakirts).
At the time of the bite, instant burning pain is most often felt (in some sources - a bite is painless), after 15-30 minutes, spreading throughout the body. Typically, patients complain about unbearable pain in the abdomen, lower back, chest. Characteristically sharp tension of the muscles of the abdominal press. Dyspnea, heartbeat, pulse, dizziness, headache, tremor, vomiting, pallor or hyperemia face, sweating, feeling of gravity in thoracic and post mills, exophthalm and expansion of pupils. The face acquires a blue shade.
Known deaths in humans and farm animals. After 3-5 days, the skin is covered with a rash, and the condition of the victim is somewhat improved. Recovery begins in 2-3 weeks, but a long time man feels a common weakness.
Karakirts ("black widows") inhabit in tropical, subtropical and even moderate latitudes on all continents, except Antarctica. Danger for humans represent only females (the size of the body is up to 2 cm). The males are much smaller (0.5 cm) and are not able to contact the skin of a person. The toxicity of poison has a pronounced seasonal dependence: September is more powerful than ten times.
Antidote: anti-scratch serum.
Alpha Conotoxin (0.012 mg / kg)
Source: Component of the CONUS GEGRAPHUS CONUS CONUS CONUS (Geographical Cone).
The cones are very active when they are touched in their habitat. Their toxic apparatus consists of a poisonous gland located at the wide end of the shell, with sharp spikes that replace the mollusk teeth. If you take the sink in your hands, the mollusk instantly puts forward randul and stuck into the body of the spikes. The injection is accompanied by an acute, bringing to the loss of consciousness pain, numbness of fingers, strong heartbeat, shortness of breath, sometimes with paralysis. On the islands of the Pacific Ocean, the deaths of the deaths of shells from the injection of cones are registered.
Cones' sinks have a length of 15-20 cm. Habitat area - East and North Coast of Australia, East Coast of Southeast Asia and China and Central Pacific.
Antidote: Antidote does not exist. The only measure is abundant bloodletting from the place of deposition.
Chiriktotoxin (0.01 mg / kg)
Source: produced by the skin of the toad Atelopus Chiriquiensis.
It causes violations of coordination of movements, convulsions, incomplete paralysis of the limbs.
Small (males - about 3 cm, females - 3.5-5 cm) toads with the beautiful name of Chirikita are found on the cage between North and South America - in Panama and Costa Rica. The form is under threat of disappearance. Toxin produces chirikit leather, and poisonousness, we recall, was evaluated when intimidated by intramuscularly.
Tithexin (0.009 mg / kg)
Source: one of the components of the poison of yellow thickened scorpion (Androctonus Australis).
The poison of yellow thick scorpion is produced in two enlarged glands, located immediately behind the sting, externally resembling a spiny at the end of the tail. They are like a scorpion appearance "fat men." It differs from other scorpions also the color of the sting - from dark brown to black. The chipping poison of the scorpion is so toxic that even an adult can kill. It feeds mainly small insects, such as locusts or beetles, but with ease frames with a shallow lizard or mouse.
With this type of scorpions, up to 80% of all serious poisoning and up to 95% of deaths from scorpion shots are associated. Androctonus Australis is a medium size of scorpions up to 10 cm long. Australia Relationships do not have: Australis in Latin - "Southern", and Androctonus in Greek - "Man Bike". There are found in the Middle East, in the north and south-east of Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Iraq, Iran, etc.).
Antidote: Anti-disstineous serum "Antiscorpion". As a slightly less effective replacement, the serum "Anticarakurt" can be used.
Tetrodotoxin (0.008 mg / kg)
Source: produced and accumulated in the tissues of the Tetraodontidae family, Babyionia Japonica mollusk and close relatives of Chirikit - Toha Atelopus Varius.
Some types of Tetraodontidae family (four-row, they are scalp, dog fish and needle) reach a length of the half meters. And these fish, and the dish of them in Japan is called "Fugu." The poison is contained in the liver, milk, caviar, intestines and skin, so that only specially trained chefs are allowed to prepare a fugus, which remove poisonous organs in a separate method for each species. If the meat of needles is prepared by non-outstanding amateurs, then in 60 cases of 100 testing of such a dish leads to death. And so far such cases are not uncommon. According to the Japanese proverb, "the one who eats a fugus is a fool, but also the one who does not eat, is also a fool."
The habitat of fish Fugu - from the northern coast of Australia to the northern coast of Japan and from the southern coast of China to the eastern Islands of Oceania.
Tetraodontidae (Fugu fish):
Babylonia Japonica mollusk has a very beautiful sink of a classic spiral form with a length of 40-85 mm. The habitat is the coast of the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan and Japan:
The toads Atelopus Varius (Atelope Pierce) - small, 2.5-4 cm, and stumble upon them, if "lucky", you can only in the jungle of Panama and Costa Rica:
This is a dangerous poison that, by hitting the digestive tract, causes strongest pain, convulsions and usually leads to death.
Antidote: There is no specific antidote, deoxication and symptomatic therapy.
Huge physical strength, powerful fangs and sharp as a razor teeth - not the only weapon used in the animal world. Thousands of animals use high-tech poisons for attack or protection.
We present to your attention a dozen of the most poisonous creatures in the world.
(Just 14 photos)
1. Caboom
The main prize of our Top gets the Caboomous (Chironex Fleckeri), which received such a name due to its cubic form. Over the past 60 years, this sympathet has taken about 6 thousand lives. Its poison is considered the most fatal in the world, toxins affect the heart, nervous system and skin cells.
And, more worse, all this is accompanied by such a hellish pain that the victims are included in the state of shock and either drown, or die from stopping the heart. If you immediately treat wound with vinegar or acetic acid solution, the victim has a chance, but, as a rule, vinegar is not found in the water
Caboomus can be found in the marine waters of Asia and Australia.
2. Royal Cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah)
Royal Cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah) is the longest poisonous snake in the world reaching 5.6 meters long. Ophiophagus, literally translates as "snake meals", because it eats other snakes. One single bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a person. It can kill even an adult Asian elephant for 3 hours if the animal is branched in a vulnerable area, such as a trunk.
Among the serpent representatives there are more poisonous than the Royal Cobra, but it is able to highlight the poison much more than others. For example, 5 times more than black mamba.
Royal Cobra is widespread in the dense mountain forests of South and Southeast Asia.
3. Scorpio Leuus Kinkiestryatus
Contrary to the widespread opinion, most of the scorpions are relatively safe for people, since the bites have only local impact (pain, anemia, tumor). Nevertheless, Leiers are a very dangerous appearance of scorpions, because his poison is a strong neurotoxin cocktail, which causes intense and unbearable pain, then fever accompanied by a coma, convulsions, paralysis and death.
Leiers are common in North Africa and the Middle East.
4. Tipan or Cruel Snake (Oxyranus Microlepidotus)
Just one bitter bite contains enough poison to kill 100 adults or an army of 250,000 mice. Its extremely neurotoxic poison - at least 200-400 times more poisonous than the poison of ordinary cobra. Just 45 minutes after the bite in an adult, death may come. But fortunately, there is an antidote, besides, this snake is very buggy and immediately passes away with the slightest danger.
It dwells in Australia.
5. Dreams or poisonous frogs
If you ever succeed in visiting the rainy forests of Central and South America, never touch the little beautiful frogs - they can be extremely poisonous. For example, the size of goldenwood is just 5 cm, and poison in it is enough to kill 10 adults.
In the former times, local tribes used the poison of these frogs to lubricate the tips of their arrows.
6. Blue ring-shaped octopus (Australian octopus)
Blue ring-shaped octopus is a small, size of a golf ball, but an extremely poisonous being, inhabiting coastal waters around Australia and a little north, towards Japan. The blue-ring octopus is usually bright in color, with dark brown groups along its eight legs and a body, with blue circles, added to the top of these dark brown groups. When the octopus is disturbed or removed from the water, it darkens, and the rings become shiny and take the color of the electrician, and this color change gives the animal of its name.
His poison is strong enough to kill a person. In fact, the octopus carries in itself enough poison to kill 26 adults during a couple of minutes, and there is no antidote. If you do not take action and not start treatment, then the person begins to feel numbness, the difficulties of speech, vision, there are breathing problems, then comes full paralysis and death due to the stop of the heart and the lack of oxygen.
7. Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or Banana Spider
This abomination fell into the Guinesis Book of 2007 for the guilt in the greatest number of human deaths caused by the bite of spiders. What is important, these spiders are dangerous not only by their poison, but also by their behavior: they do not sit in place and do not buy a web, they wore on the ground, hide in buildings, clothes, shoes, cars, anywhere; What significantly increases the risk to suddenly meet them and be branched.
8. Fish ball or fugu
Fish ball - the second most poisonous vertebrate animal on Earth (the first - golden tree from claim 5). Meat of some subspecies, for example, a fugu - delicacy in Japan and Korea, but the problem is that the surface of the fish and its defined organs are very poisonous. The poison of the fugu causes paralysis, as a result of which the suffocations and death comes from the lack of oxygen.
Therefore, it is allowed to prepare such fish in Japan only licensed chefs.
9. Marble Snail Cone
In appearance, the marble snail-cone looks beautiful and very cute, but it can be as fatal as any other animal in this list. A drop of her poison can kill 20 people. Signs of bite: severe pain, tumor, numbness, in serious cases, paralysis and respiratory failure occurs. Antidote does not exist.
However, about 30 cases of human deaths from poison of this snail are registered for all the time, which is not very much compared to other representatives of our list.
10. Fish-stone
Perhaps fish-stone will never win a beauty contest, but she will definitely receive the prize "the most poisonous fish". The poison causes such an unbearable pain that in search of salvation from torment, the affected wishing amputation of the affected place. It is believed that the bite of the Fish-stone provokes the most powerful pain, a well-known person. The pain is accompanied by shock, paralysis, and dying fabric.
If you do not get an ambulance care, the outcome can be fatal.
Fish-stone stores its toxins in terrible spinal ridges that are designed to protect against predators.
It is widespread in the tropical waters of the quiet and Indian oceans, from the Red Sea to a large barrier reef.
On how to poison a person poison, not only potential attackers, but also the usual Internet users. Today the pharmaceutical market offers consumers a lot of drugs, some funds are available for purchase without a medical recipe.
And there are toxic substances that allow to eliminate the opponent quickly or, on the contrary, provoke a chronic disease. Century knowledge and modern technologies become dangerous weapons in the hands of competent people.
Caline cyanide is known almost to all, at the beginning of the 20th century, a hazardous powder was a common way to get rid of unwanted persons.
The poison refers to a group of derivatives of sinyl acid and is well soluble in water. Some sources indicate the specific smell of this substance, however, not all people are capable of feeling it. Potassium cyanide causes poisoning when entering inside, and also dangerously inhaling particles of powder and a pair of solution. The deadly dose of poison is only a few grams, but in most cases it depends on the weight and individual characteristics of the body.
With the help of cyano potassium, you can quickly apply a person. The path of getting substances in the body is influenced by death, so, when inhalation of particles, the toxin action is manifested instantly, and when in the stomach of the stomach, the poison begins to cause irreversible consequences after 15 minutes.
The victim passes several stages of intoxication. Initially, there is a sore throat, then nausea and vomiting begins, it is possible to numb a pharynx. Over time, general weakness increases, a sense of fear arises, and the pulse slows down. Subsequently, such signs as convulsions and loss of consciousness are noted. As a rule, when a sufficient dose of poison appears, the man dies within 4 hours.
With the coming to the pharmaceutical market of new drugs, people are interested in how to poison a person with pills. The following medicines were included in the list of dangerous poisons:
- sleeping "Fenazepam";
- chemern water;
- drops "Corvalol".
The medicine "Penazepam" is appointed by doctors as a means against insomnia, panic attacks and stress. It relates to psychotropic medicines, and offenders use this drug in order to poison a person in a dream.
Like many other means, "phenazepam" are incompatible with alcohol - this is enjoyed by criminals, since the joint use of these tablets and alcoholic beverages leads to a stopping of breathing and death. But to get the described drug is not easy, as it is released exclusively on a medical recipe.
Chemern water is freely sold in the pharmacy and is applied not only in traditional medicine, but also as a means against alcohol addiction. However, some cases of intentional intoxication are not taken into account, because such a medicine is suitable for those who want to poison a person without identifying poison.
The lethal exodus occurs when used inside 2 years. Raw materials, suitable water adversely affects the work of the heart and blood pressure. Thus, the supply of brain with oxygen gradually decreases.
As a rule, alcohol speeds up the absorption of poison and signs of intoxication of checker water develops already in 20 minutes after the adoption of the means. Studies begins, and there are also symptoms such as a strong thirst, slowdown of heart rhythm, disruption of reason. Death comes on average after 8 hours, such a medicine allows criminals to poison a person without determining the exact cause of death.
Drops "Corvalol" can be purchased in any pharmacy, which makes them affordable and effective medicine for poisoning. The deadly dose of the drug depends on the weight and age of a person, on average it is 150 drops.
Inxication is characterized by a long sleep, a decrease in blood pressure and the expansion of pupils. The joint use of this drug with alcohol is especially dangerous, in this case, tachycardia appears, skin covers are blue. To poison a person slowly with the help of Korvalol droplets, most likely will not work, the fatal outcome occurs during the day than the various asocial elements of society enjoy.
Let's start with the "king" poisons - arsenic. Up to 1832, arsenic poisoning was extremely difficult to diagnose, since the symptoms of poisoning, this poison, were similar to the symptoms of cholera. This similarity allowed to mask the use of arsenic and its compounds as a deadly poison.
With acute poisoning, arsenic observed vomiting, stomach pain diarrhea, inhibition of the central nervous system.
Antidote: aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate, dimerkaprol.
Cyanide
Calia cyanide, or potassium cyanide is the strongest inorganic poison. In its own way resembles sugar sand.
If the cells fall into the body, the oxygen ceases to absorb oxygen as a result of which the body dies from intramanese hypoxia. Cyanium is digested very quickly and therefore death occurs within 15 minutes.
Gas Zarin
Gas Zarin - a poisoning substance with a nervous effect.
The first signs of the impact of Zarina per person - discharge from the nose, concreterance in the chest and the narrowing of pupils. Soon after that, the victim finds breathing, nausea and reinforced salivation appears. Then the victim completely loses control over the functions of the body. This phase is accompanied by convulsions. Ultimately, the victim flows into a comatose state and chips in the attack of convulsive spasms with the subsequent heart stop.
Antidote: Atropine, Pralidoxim, Diazepam, Athens.
Diamfotoxin
Diamfotoxin is the most powerful poison of animal origin on our planet contained in the blood of the larvae of the South African beetle-leaf beetle.
It is capable of a short period of time to reduce the hemoglobin content in the blood by 75% due to the massive destruction of the erythrocytes.
Antidote: There is no specific antidote.
Ricin
Ricin is the most powerful poison of plant origin, which is obtained from the castor beans of the plants of Kleschevin.
To kill an adult, several grains are enough. Ricin kills cells in the human body, preventing the production of proteins necessary to him, which ends with the deficiency of the organs. A person can poison Ricin through inhalation or after receiving inside.
When inhalation, the symptoms of poisoning usually appear after 8 hours after exposure, and include difficulties with breathing, fever, cough, nausea, sweating and sacrifice in the chest.
By swallowing, symptoms appear in less than 6 hours and include nausea, low blood pressure, hallucinations and seizures. Death can occur in 36-72 hours.
Antidote: There is no specific antidote.
