The Deadliest Toxins on Earth
There are naturally occurring toxins on Earth that are SO poisonous that one drop could kill thousands of people. How is that possible? What about their chemical makeup makes them so poisonous? Join Hank Green for an exciting look into the dangerous world of natural toxins.

Well, after being told so many times that infants can't eat honey while never being given a proper explanation, now I know why. Thanks Hank

I'm Swedish and every year (well last year was an exception) people from Thailand come to Sweden to pick blue berries for profit. The problem is that one of our most poisonous mushrooms is very easily mistaken for a mushroom that grows in Thailand - that is edible. Within three days after eating our mushroom the liver stops functioning.

The cat sitting on the desk with me as I watch this was named Amanita as a kitten. Her sister was named Pantherina, and together, they were the vet's favorite toxic mushroom, the panther cap.
Another contributing factor to why the Death Cap is so deadly is that, according to people who've eaten them and survived, it tastes kind of sweet therefore causing the victim to eat more of them and ingesting even higher quantities of the poison.

@@Beth_Amphetamine Now that you mention that does sound familiar. If I'm not mistaken the poison comes from the plants and/or animals they live on. An article I just read says that wild-caught frogs can maintain toxicity for some time. Like you said domesticated frogs do not have the poison but depending on the diet they can absorb it, so care must be taken with a caged frog so as to minimize harmful alkaloids. Not harmful to him, to human.

My home-Ec teacher stressed the danger of killing people with botulism so much that 35 years later I am still afraid to start canning my garden produce. Then the neurologist tells me: “I think the best thing for your migraines is to shoot your head, neck, and face full of botulinum toxin on a recurring basis. Mrs. Schultz would like you to know side effects may include your horrible death.” He may not have phrased it quite that way.

Strychnine is horrible horrible stuff, we used to use it on the farm to poison gophers and mice and similar little critters. It smells like black licorice and we got ours as a clear liquid. What makes it so horrible is how you die, my dad had a little bit on his hands and after washing his hands way later that day he used his hands to scoop water from the rain barrel to drink, The little bit he had left was enough to have him screaming on the ground seizuring like an epileptic. By the time we got him to the hospital he was almost back to normal so the doc said it must have been a very small amount but to this day he says it's the most painful thing by a factor of 10 that he's ever experienced and really scared the crap out of us kids.

Dont listen to them, Apple seeds, pear seeds don't contain enough of the chemical to kill you.
Wow, I never knew the strychnine tree would be that DEADLY! Living in South-East Asia, and as a kid, I used to go around plucking these orange "berries". I knew they were poisonous and so did all the kids. So we usually use them as projectiles for our own version of "snowball" fight. Heck, folks over here basically use these trees as decorations for landscaping; as for kids, a cheap and fun way to literally die for.

I was just blown away by the facts in this video. I often wondered why so many people had an allergy to Almonds and many other types of nut now I have some idea as to why it might occur I enjoyed the film. Thank you My kindest regards Arwel Roberts
Damn I actually play with that fur ball ( castor ) when I was young didn't know it's poisonous..
This is great information given in a veryintereting manner. Excellent
Right... Now I'm scared to eat, breathe, go outside or do anything else.

How does water hemlock (cicuta maculata) compare to castor beans in toxicity? This grows in my area (CT). I always thought water hemlock was the most poisonous plant in North America.

Cicuta contains Cicutoxin,which is a non-alkaloidal acetylenic compound. This compound is definitely of lower toxicity than Ricin (LD5O of Ricin is approximately 6 micrograms/kg body weight,injected dose). Cicutoxin has an LD50 of 2.8 milligrams /kg of body weight.,which means it requires about 500 times more Cicutoxin.

Wow, so Walter and Jesse would have been deep in Mexico by the time Tuco died. Walter would have known this too, being the brilliant chemist he is. Plot Hole?
@XRezZzoN

not at all. their original plan was to set up a meeting with tuco to poison him with their "new" meth recipe, then leave and wait for tuco to die (as opposed to tuco dying within half an hour, in which case tucos buddies would surely be able to recognize whos responsible for their bosses death and avenge him), but they were abducted before they could do that. now, if u were in walters position, why wouldnt u try poisoning tuco, even if he was going to take u to mexico? i mean, he could easily kill u (or jesse) if he had one of his "phases" and is still posing a threat to everyone around him.
That was really interesting and informative. Thank you for the presentation, and maybe you saved some lives here.

I thought you were gonna mention that in extremely small doses botulinum toxin can be used to cure muscle spasms and as Botox. And you mentioned most of the LD50s for oral ingestion, but for botulinum the 1ng/kg is only true for intravenous injection.

Ricin is being investigated as treatment for cancer? Damn that would've made a great plot twist for Breaking Bad! Imagine Walter White trying to commit suicide using ricin and instead treats his own cancer. He becomes a hero sentenced to death. He killed dozens of people but saved millions with his research on ricin that led to the discovery of a cure. :) Man Vince Gilligan you suck at writing endings..

But since he doesn't care much for his own well being it would take her daughter or son to be threatened by a brain tumor to push him to research ricin more seriously.
