    Fun fact. Polonium is actually used in industrial anti dust devices. The reason is, that the radioactivity ionizes a part of the devices wich attracts the dust, thereby removing it from the process. Another use of radioactive materials is Americium in fire alarms.

      Fun fact #1 about your fun fact: There's a tiny button approximately 5/16" which holds a tinier piece of metal foil plated with Americium 241...the element that actually "smells" the smoke.
      Fun fact #2 about your fun fact: It is in fact illegal to remove said button from smoke detectors. Why?? (See FF #3)*. It's also illegal to dispose of smoke detectors in the trash. They are radioactive due to the Am-241-therefore a hazardous material.
      Fun fact #3 about your fun fact: A teen Boy Scout named David Hahn wanted an Atomic Energy badge for Scouts , so he built his own nuclear reactor in his own back yard using Am-241 buttons from smoke detectors and gas lanterns (old lantern mantles contain Thorium-another radioactive element). His story was published into a book titled "The Radioactive Boy Scout".
      *The removal of the buttons are obviously illegal to prevent anything like this from happening again.
      Fun fact #4 about your fun fact: Americium-241 is the only man-made radioactive element that can be readily purchased at any hardware store.

      @@bigverybadtom United States Nuclear Regulary Commision: "Polonium-210 is a radioactive isotope that occurs in small amounts in nature and can be made in a nuclear reactor. It has limited uses, mainly in static eliminators. In recent years, polonium made the news because of its use as a poison. Polonium was blamed for the Nov. 23, 2006, death in London of the Russian Alexander Litvinenko. It has also been mentioned as a possible cause of Yassar Arafat's death.
      Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie in 1898; she later named it for her homeland of Poland. Though rare, it is found in tobacco, and in the soil and air. For industrial purposes, it is produced in milligram amounts in nuclear reactors. Only about 100 grams (a little more than 3 ounces) is believed to be produced worldwide each year. Licensed distributors import a very small amount of polonium-210 into the U.S. each year." It is a good description, and interesting, that such a little ammount is produced.
      And there is also a TH-cam video, where a polonium source is used to demonstrate Alpha radiation.

    You can actually buy brushes meant for taking the static off of music records that have a very tiny amount of Polonium in them. The alpha radiation from the Polonium sort of neutralizes the static and makes it to where you can clean them easier. Firestone also used to put Polonium in spark plugs back in the early 1940's. I have a collection of those, but with a half life of less than a year, you can even detect any radiation from them anymore. Your older smoke detectors also have Americium in them as the detection source.

    I'm kinda confused by the use of a radioactive substance as number 1. Radioactivity is weird and the deadliness of it is a balance between intensity and duration. Shorter halflives being dangerous because they output a LOT of energy VERY quickly, but they also transmute to other things very quickly and so don't stick around. If the daughter elements are less radioactive, they don't get long to do their thing. Longer half-lives aren't quite as violently radioactive, but they stick around much longer and can continue to do damage for a long time.
    Meaning that Polonium (Which isotope? 210 I assume, but Polonium has 42 isotopes and all have different half-lives) is certainly deadly but this opens the list up to countless other elements. Polonium 210 definitely is in that range where it emits absurd amounts of radiation while also sticking around for quite a while, but there are other isotopes and even other elements that decay faster and thus produce more radiation in certain time scales. This is why we have an amusing number of units involved in describing the level of radioactivity a certain thing has!

    A little known fact is that there is polonium (and lead-210 with decays to bismuth which decay to polonium) in tobacco, causing smokers to inhale small radioactive traces that emit alpha radiation in the lungs. This is the main cause for lung cancer.

    Correction - apricot (and other fruit) pits do not contain cyanide as such. They contain more complex compounds, mainly amygdalin, that break down on when ingested release hydrogen cyanide.

    We are taught in first aid classes here in Australia that all you have to do to save someone from tetrodotoxin is administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation/chest compressions) to keep their blood flowing and EAR (expired air resucitation/mouth to mouth) to keep their blood oxygenated until the poison has sufficient time to be neutralised by the body. Because it affects muscles the person can't breathe and their heart doesn't beat so the moment you stop EAR and CPR they die. There are stories of people who ended up saving their friends lives after they'd stepped on Stone fish which also have tetrodotoxin. The person who stepped on the stone fish later said they were completely conscious the whole time and could hear and see what was going on and just thankful their friends didn't give up the fight and kept up the CPR and EAR for HOURS until help arrived.

    A camelback, a sleek slender version that doesn't have an immediately noticable protrusion effect. With two hoses instead of one. At the end of one you have a spray nozzle, at the end of the other you have a palm sized squeeze pump ball. When equipped you have one hose travelling down the length of each arm, while being covered over by long sleeves and a jacket. Now you can simply fill it with whatever poison you wish and then go to an all you can eat buffet...or the produce section of a grocery store and while you have your spray tip located at your mid palm(pointed to spray downward away from you of course) you can appear to be reaching for certain....items of interest... While simultaneously using the concealed squeezeball to generously coat those items with a lil extra liquid love.
    Just a lil fun thought. 😉

    The algae bloom he talks of , IMO. is more commonly known as a "red tide". Be circumspect before you eat locally caught fish (especially reef fish) during a "red tide" warning if you are not a local , who eats such fish regularly. Which gives an acquired immunity to some extent over time.

    The order of this list is way off, considering Tetrodotoxin TTX is about a 1000 times more potent than Cyanide when it comes to LD50. Yes, Polonium-210 is one of the most toxic substance in the world, although it still does not beat Botulinum toxin, but they are comparable in their dosages; COMPLETELY different in action.

    3:55 Strychnine doesn't work "by shutting down the nerve fibers in the spinal cord, which makes it impossible for the muscles to contract." It actually blocks the inhibitory function of the spinal cord, so as soon as any muscle is contracted, it can't STOP contracting. Strychnine is one of the most acutely painful and unpleasant ways to die because it doesn't affect the brain at all, it just makes all your muscles tighten up until you're a huge knotted cramp and either you can't breathe anymore or you die from fatigue or muscle disintegration (rhabdomyolysis).

      It doesn't make the blood clot, it does the opposite, it's an anti-coagulant. It's actually also a drug which is commonly prescribed by the name Warfarin. It is used to manage conditions such as atrial fibrillation. It is a drug which is being phased out slowly by more modern DOACS, but it is still odd to think that the drug which likely millions of humans worldwide still take daily was originally created as a rat poison.
