Poison list????????

Question

what are the top ten deadliest poisons in the world?

Answer 1

Fox News is the number one poison in America.

Answer 2

It's subjective. Potassium cyanide or hydrogen cyanide are fairly high on the list. Hydrogen sulfide is more poisonous than either. Newspaper reporters have been taught to say that dioxin (octachlorodibenzodioxin) is the most poisonous substance known, but no one has ever died from it. There are famous poisons like strychnine or arsenic (actually arsenate salts), but I don't know how they figure on a list of deadly.

Then, don't forget the maxim of Paracelsus: "Poison is in the dose."

Answer 3

Clostridium Botulinum, pound for pound, is the deadliest poison known. I don't really know about the other nine.
