Hemlock, also known as Omega, is a highly toxic flower growing in Europe and South Africa. He was very popular with the ancient Greeks, who killed his prisoners with his help. The fatal dose for an adult is 100 milligrams of omega (about 8 leaves of the plant). Death occurs as a result of paralysis, the consciousness remains clear, but the body ceases to react and the respiratory system soon ceases. The most famous case of poisoning with this poison is the death of the Greek philosopher Socrates. In 399 BC he was sentenced to death for contempt of the Greek gods - the verdict was executed with the help of Boligolov's concentrated infusion.
Aconite is derived from the plant fighter. This poison leaves after itself only one posthumous sign - suffocation. The poison causes a strong arrhythmia, which eventually leads to suffocation. You can even poison yourself by simply touching the leaves of the plant without gloves, as the substance is absorbed very quickly and easily. Because of the difficulty in finding the remnants of this poison in the body, it became popular among people trying to commit a non-traceable murder. Despite this, the aconite has its famous sacrifice. Emperor Claudius poisoned his wife Agrippina with aconite in a dish of mushrooms.
Belladonna. This is the favorite poison among girls! Even the name of the plant from which it is derived, comes from the Italian language and means "Beautiful woman". Initially, the plant was used in the Middle Ages for cosmetic needs - it made eye drops that widened the pupils, which made women more seductive (at least, they thought so). If they rub a little cheeks, it would give them a reddish shade, which is now achieved with the help of blush. It seems that the plant is not terribly terrible? In fact, if you take it inside, then even one leaf can be lethal, because of what it was used to make poisonous arrowheads. The berries of Belladonna are the most dangerous - 10 attractive berries can become fatal.
Dimethylmercury. It's a slow man-made killer. But that's what makes it so much more dangerous. Taking a dose of 0.1 milliliters leads to death. However, the symptoms of poisoning become apparent only after several months, which greatly complicates the treatment. In 1996, a chemistry teacher from Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, dropped a drop of poison on her arm-dimethylmercury passed through a latex glove, poisoning symptoms appeared four months later, and ten months later she died.
Tetrodotoxin (Tetrodotoxin). This substance is found in sea creatures - the blue-ringed octopus (blue-ringed octopus) and the pufferfish (fugue). The octopus is more dangerous, since he deliberately poisons the victim with this poison, which causes death within a few minutes. The amount of poison released per bite is enough to kill 26 adults in a few minutes, and bites are usually so painless that the victim realizes that they were bitten only when paralysis occurs. Blowing fish are dangerous only if you are going to eat them. If a dish of fugu from pufferfish is cooked correctly, then all its poison completely evaporates, and it can be consumed without any consequences, except for adrenaline rush from the thought that when cooking the dish cook was mistaken.
