[General Pain]

has anybody a decent list of poisons ...with onset time - delivery method - effects - antidote etc - production,where it can be found etc....

reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison

[jester]

Aspirin; about 4 hours, normal, lethargy, fatigue, then halucienation and then death.

Antidote, NONE it takes about 40 tablets

Nicotene, ever smoke to many cigaterres Boil down 100 or so used cigarette butts, remove the butts and boil it down into a resin. Be careful when doing this, the fumes will send your heart racing. Add the substance idealy to alcohol to hide the taste, it will basicaly give a heartattack



A general antidote is to administer charcoal which is supposed to absorve the medication/poison, it needs to be done soon however before the meds or the majority of them are absorved into the system.


Other natural poisons,

Belladona
Morning Glory seeds
Nightshade
Manioc or casava sap
Apricote or Peach pits which contain cyanide
Lead-insanty halucindation, anmeia and death
Potasium-slows the heart

[Targan]

Bitter almonds contain arsenic.

I've heard that adding tomato leaves to salad can cause heart attacks.

Keep the ideas coming guys....you're making the ghost of Agatha Cristie proud

Pink Laurel (Nerium Oleander). One of the most dangerous plant you find around the mediterranean (especially in school yards , I'm not kidding). All parts of the plant is toxic and a single leaf can kill an adult by heart failure. During the Napoleonic wars, some french soldiers died because they use a stick made from it to cook their meat.

Oleander! Thats the one I have been trying to think of for these weeks.

Mushrooms! Lets not forget the shrooms. And I would wager they taste like regular mushrooms sauteed with a little salt and butter, by the time you realise, if at all it will be to late.

Insulin, in a normal person it can be deadly.

Rockfish, their spines are poisonous, get enough of it, let it dry and add it to whatever you wish as a vector. These can be instant with localized pain which can turn to shock, as well as an allergic reaction in sensitive people or in large enough quantities.

Catfish Spines; these are also poisonous with intense stinging which can be localized and if enough venom or a sensistive person can sent them into shock, stop the heart of similiar affects.

Assorted snake and other venom harvested and either dried to concentrate it, or liquid form and delivered to your victim.

Any of the Beladona family of which tomatoes and potatoes are members, thus in the old days these were considered poisonous.

SEAL Liver I heard has a high concentration of Vitim D which is enough to kill you.

Ergot poisoning, from a type of fungus on grain.

Those are some more poisons off the top of my head.

I will hit the poison garden at school and have some more names in the next week or so.

They are everywhere were I'm living. First thing you teach your kids is not to touch plants and not to put leaves in mouth.

[jester]

Yes, they are very common here where I live and also where I grew up in Ca. We learned the same thing as well.

When I was a teenager a lamb my family had as a pet died after eating oleander. First it went blind, then it croaked. Nasty.

That one obviously improved the species. Usually, only humans are stupid enough to do these kind of things.

Sadly you are correct. Sheep aren't the brightest of animals but he was dumb even for a sheep. No great loss.

Don't forget that stupidity is the most powerfull force in the universe

I don't and I have Einstein saying printed on top of my desk: Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. The downside, is that I often can recognize myself into it.

While not a natural poison, a subtle and effective poison is antifreeze--it causes kidney failure, and is especially attractive to dogs and cats because of its sweet flavor.

For a truly nasty lingering painful death, overdose the victim with Tylenol/acetaminophen; they will briefly recover, then die by inches from liver failure. This should be reserved for the KGB torturer who got to your best buds.
