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.

@@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 RUclips video, where a polonium source is used to demonstrate Alpha radiation.
PSA: Please please PLEASE do NOT use poisons for rodent control, particularly not in residential areas. Poisoned living or dead pests get eaten by predators, who subsequently get poisoned themselves. This kills people's pets. This kills endangered birds of prey. Don't use rodent poisons if you're mitigating rodents that can be accessed by predators of any kind.
One of the reasons I dislike rat poison, I just use my air rifle for killing rats. P.s if your going to use rat, mice, or glue traps then use them in a room with bait and close the door, maybe even put a warning on the door. rat traps can break small animals paws and legs.
fun facts about the poison found in the dart frog , the posion is not found in captive breed members if these frogs as it actually comes from specific insects they eat in the wild, this is why this poison is also found in the skin of the pitou hue (not spelled corectly) bird
The Staticmaster brushes which I used to use back in the film photography days used polonium as the anti-static agent and were very effective. Good thing I never opened any of the spent cartridges!
I got food poisoning from bad hotdogs that ended up being botulinum toxin. I was in the hospital for almost 4 weeks was semi paralyzed but luckily made it out with no long term ill effects. I was told by DR's that if treated early with anti-toxin the chances of living are 90% or better..
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!
Wikipedia says the median lethal dose (killing half of the affected persons) of polonium for humans is about 0.1 microgram or 1 x 10e-7 g. Seven trillionths of a gram is 7 x 10e-12. So the dose quoted in the video is off by over four orders of magnitude. This is a truly staggering error.
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 remember the old Dustmaster record brushes from the early 70's. They were junk, just like the old DiscWasher brushes that claimed to reduce static charges on vinyl through humidity control.
@@Pinakiprime910 not true. His graphic showed that 1 gram kills 1 country, of a size i do not want to do math for. 1 gram is way more than a drop already, though
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. So, sadly, there are actually a lot of people that get exposed to polonium on a daily basis.
tetrodotoxin is one of the ingredients used in the zombie powder used in Haiti to make, well, zombies. Imagine appearing dead, but being awake and able to see and hear everything... being put in a coffin, buried... and all the other fun things that happens in zombification.... don't sound like much fun to me.
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.
It is unfortunate #10 is used so often. Because of how long this and other poisons of this type last, animals that eat rodents suffer the same painful death. So critters like owls get wiped out by it.
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.
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).
at 2:31 your talking about cyanide in it's free form. The compound in apricot seeds is Amygdalin, which has a cyanide molecule locked in it, that releases when it contacts cancer cells.
I think it's worth noting that the structure offered during the botulinum toxin is much more complicated and it's a protein. Also, fun fact, polonium has been detected in tobacco smoke.
@@zakbrinkhoff324Yeah and there's also billions of chemicals in humans. What does the number of chemicals say about anything?? Most of what we interact with is a chemical (eg. Wood, plastic, glass, water)
Someone in my distant relative was making those 2 minutes noodles and god knows why they got its instant spice mix confused with rat poison(just one of the packets), actually both the packets were of same shiny silver color. Guess they made the most deadly noodles.

Strychnine uses the same idea as chili peppers. Birds will eat the seeds and spread the plant, mammals feel a burning sensation and avoid the plant, by extension avoiding inadvertently destroying the seeds
In the cyanide part, there is a correction needed: There are two types of apricot pits: sweet (edible) and bitter. Only the bitter pits contain cyanide. The sweet, or non-bitter pits are perfectly fine to be consumed and are a great source of potassium.
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.

If Brodifacoum makes the rats blood clot, I guess it is just giving the rats a taste of their own medicine (bubonic plague reference, if you were wondering)
Rat's weren't the culprit for plague, it was the flea. Blaming rats is like blaming the gun that fired the bullet rather than the one who actually pulled the trigger
@@jojo_da_poe bullets can technically fire off without a gun, but i see what you're saying. my analogy may not have been great but my point still stands
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.
Polonium has been used as a neutron source in atomic bombs. When polonium comes into contact with beryllium, neutrons are emitted. These have been used to initiate and boost the chain reaction in a critical mass of U235 or Plutonium.
@@Milk-ml6jg Tritium combined with Deuterium have been used to boost the output of fission bombs. However, because Tritium emits a beta particle, it cannot be used to initiate a fission reaction. You need thermal neutrons to do that.
@@Milk-ml6jg A hydrogen bomb is a fission bomb boosted with Lithium Deuteride. The old method of initiating fission bombs with Polonium and Beryllium has been replaced with an electronic device that sends a burst of electrons into a target that then emits a burst of thermal neutrons. You can boost any hydrogen bomb indefinitely by adding more stages (i.e. a package containing more Lithium Deuteride with a plutonium 239 initiator core).
You’re right! One got in my basement recently and I trapped him using a have a heart trap. Drove him 20 miles out of town and turned him loose in the woods. He was cute little fella.
Apricot kernels contain amygdalin, a naturally occurring toxin that releases cyanide when it reacts with stomach enzymes. Amygdalin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain plants like apricot pits, which when ingested by humans, is broken down by enzymes in the body to release cyanide, a highly toxic chemical; essentially, amygdalin is a precursor to cyanide, meaning it is not cyanide itself but can transform into cyanide under the right conditions.
I have been telling ppl for the last 30 years that no one should die of Tetrodotoxin, and most strictly neurotoxin snake bites if they just administered rescue breathing. And now, finally someone else gets it. I have even had other big headed physicians try to negate the assertion. You understand that fentanyl toxicity can be overcome with rescue breathing as well. Take a BLS course.

Everything that are uploaded in this channel is wonderful yet disturbing at the same time.. thanks to God for making Polonium to be hard to be made or otherwise impending extinction lol
Polonium is not something you can pick up with hand or smuggle in your pockets.... It's highly unstable and deteriorate rapidly after formation inside core of nuclear reactors. Even in therory, these things have extremely short half life... I'd be more worried about cyanaide...
Im surprisingly fascinated by things like this, its very interesting. Im glad its getting easier and easier to find poisons and treat them. But they still are deadly and should be avoided at all costs. I suggest avoiding underwater rocks in Australia...

That's how it's pronounced in many areas of the US, particularly Texas and the Southwest.
alot of people pronounce it that way...
I pronounce coyote ki o tee
A great honor to be put on the watchlist with you guys
Good content 👍
The only thing is that the harddrug alcohol is missing in the list.
If Brodifacoum makes the rats blood clot, I guess it is just giving the rats a taste of their own medicine (bubonic plague reference, if you were wondering)
No, it makes it do the opposite haha
Rat's weren't the culprit for plague, it was the flea. Blaming rats is like blaming the gun that fired the bullet rather than the one who actually pulled the trigger
@@JustAnotherAccount8 But what's a bullet without something to shoot it?
@@jojo_da_poe bullets can technically fire off without a gun, but i see what you're saying. my analogy may not have been great but my point still stands
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.
‘Let’s hope they use that power responsibly’. I sure hope so.
If you watched this video.... YOU ARE NOW ON A WATCH LIST😬

You can actually find polonium in household dust! Radon decays into polonium which is positively charged and sticks to household dust.
north korea:sees the title
also north korea: hmm interesting
They're looking for the links with a discount code.
Don't give them ideas
Wait a minute, I can't tell you how many wild plum seeds I've eaten in my lifetime. Do those contain cyanide too?
Yes but you’ve almost certainly not eaten enough.
And just swallowing th seed doesn’t release the cyanide. They need to be crushed, or opened to release the cyanide.
@@bananab0ng756 well that's good to know.
Apple seeds too
@BigJohn Hansome ok? Thanks for your valuable imput.
Polonium has been used as a neutron source in atomic bombs. When polonium comes into contact with beryllium, neutrons are emitted. These have been used to initiate and boost the chain reaction in a critical mass of U235 or Plutonium.
Tritium can be used as a boost right?
@@Milk-ml6jg Tritium combined with Deuterium have been used to boost the output of fission bombs. However, because Tritium emits a beta particle, it cannot be used to initiate a fission reaction. You need thermal neutrons to do that.
@@6NBERLS oh ok thanks
@@6NBERLS is there any other way to boost atomic bombs?
@@Milk-ml6jg A hydrogen bomb is a fission bomb boosted with Lithium Deuteride. The old method of initiating fission bombs with Polonium and Beryllium has been replaced with an electronic device that sends a burst of electrons into a target that then emits a burst of thermal neutrons. You can boost any hydrogen bomb indefinitely by adding more stages (i.e. a package containing more Lithium Deuteride with a plutonium 239 initiator core).
Thanks for the life hacks man! Great videos.

These poisons are probably really expensive too.

Your first comment was S or C right?
your actually first, congratulations
Click bait.
And you fell for it 😂
No not really.
@@thearizonian9500Not really a burn. "Haha, they lied to you."
Why? It’s polonium
VX and some others are very familiar to me. I once worked at a place that destroyed them. It wasn't dangerous because of elaborate safety precautions.
JACADS..?
And, they' re binary substance.
This looks like it was filmed years ago. The way things are going with the housing in New Zealand, I won't even be able to afford what he has got. 😓
i love how i see this when my stomach hurts badly
Where's league of legends? The most dangerous poison known to man
U mean mobile legends?
Your mother is the most toxic
You both just proved his comment
Possums are not pests!
You’re right! One got in my basement recently and I trapped him using a have a heart trap. Drove him 20 miles out of town and turned him loose in the woods. He was cute little fella.
Apricot kernels contain amygdalin, a naturally occurring toxin that releases cyanide when it reacts with stomach enzymes.
Amygdalin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain plants like apricot pits, which when ingested by humans, is broken down by enzymes in the body to release cyanide, a highly toxic chemical; essentially, amygdalin is a precursor to cyanide, meaning it is not cyanide itself but can transform into cyanide under the right conditions.
I have been telling ppl for the last 30 years that no one should die of Tetrodotoxin, and most strictly neurotoxin snake bites if they just administered rescue breathing. And now, finally someone else gets it. I have even had other big headed physicians try to negate the assertion. You understand that fentanyl toxicity can be overcome with rescue breathing as well. Take a BLS course.
We need this now more than ever in 2021!
I agree.
youre forgetting one of the most deadly poisons of our time. fentanyl
Carfentanil is 100 times stronger, to be strict that should definitely be in this list, top 3..
Both are medicines. The abuse of any medicine can lead to death.
@@craigjones7343 yeah but not in micrograms....
@@ajd0101Remyfentanyl, Surfentanyl. Both are, along with Carfentanyl, from 100 to 10000 times more potent than Fentanyl . Infact, it' use is limited to knock out very huge mammals, as elephants, rhino, hippos.
Bwahaha, everyone who bit into an apricot pit as a child and still has all their teeth, raise their hand. Apple seeds seem far more likely.
Polonium will become less and less problematic to either create or procure.
A fascinating substance.
0:53 - I like the way she is smiling while he fights for his life.
Looks like the people who disliked were poisoned
Hi
@@judeabeljangnap7241 wtf
Hi
Everything that are uploaded in this channel is wonderful yet disturbing at the same time.. thanks to God for making Polonium to be hard to be made or otherwise impending extinction lol
Polonium is not something you can pick up with hand or smuggle in your pockets....
It's highly unstable and deteriorate rapidly after formation inside core of nuclear reactors.
Even in therory, these things have extremely short half life...
I'd be more worried about cyanaide...
Yeah, thanks to God for making all these awful deadly compounds. What would we do without him.

These poisons are like soft drinks when you compare it to 4chan.
Im surprisingly fascinated by things like this, its very interesting. Im glad its getting easier and easier to find poisons and treat them. But they still are deadly and should be avoided at all costs. I suggest avoiding underwater rocks in Australia...
No idea if this is true oh, so please correct me if I'm wrong; everything in Australia is either dangerous, poisonous or sheep.
@@judsonross6995 Pretty Much
Oh, several things that could eliminate a person. I thought the video was going to be about one deadly substance. (The most deadly one discovered.) Still very interesting though. : )
Honey badgers: oh, you're approaching me
I hope we bigfoots aren't susceptible to it
Yee lol
Holla
Bigfeeeeeeeeeeet
I remeber I used to watch ur vids awhile ago like when u found Grandpas Ashes
What about Arsenic??
If you came here for the name of the poison that is the one drop as it says in the title, go to 10:19
I used to think like this in my imagination but unfortunately its true now.
Carfentanil is 100 times stronger, to be strict that should definitely be in this list, top 3..... and U-47700 is a very deadly opioid also
He's talking about neurotoxins and poisons, not drugs
@@mtsmasterzz that is a contender still.
@@ajd0101 how is it a contender? it doesn’t even match up with this list properly.
@@vestlandpropaganda ................ do some research
@@ajd0101 i suggest you do actually
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. 😉
You are a sick MFr...giving ideas like that to the sick f**cks out there. Just what we don't need. geez, dude...
So, there are approximately 209 billion molecules in a drop of water for each person in the world.
For years I thought that Botulinum was the deadliest of them all... I guess I was wrong.
0:47 Possums aren't really pest imo. They are actually pretty clean animals and immune to most dangerous diseases like rabies.
They also eat a shitload of ticks so they're good in my books
Pufferfish poison almost killed Homer Simpson!
Fugu me!
What of Novichok ? A nerve-agent used to poison Sergei Skripal a former military intelligence officer who was a double-agent.
The aerosol used to deliver it was a perfume dispenser that was discarded but found 3 months later by two British people who decided to try the 'perfume'. One died.
Video starts at 10:21
could you perhaps rank all the most dangerous nuclear chemicals?
so polonium will be number 1 again?
They are elements, not chemicals. The worst is Cobalt 60, gamma emitter.
Fun fact: A human will die if they ate 150 apple seeds.
actually i think it's 8-15. Just don't eat seeds
The world record is 68
@@Kablowshky ahm..
I love them, and I eat from 5 to 15 a day. Just love eating apples with seeds. It is definitely not poisonous or I should be dead
I learn this from my dad
AH YES, THEY WILL DIE FROM THE SEEDS.
1:29....yeah you heard that too
That was amazing
1:35 steve being able to eat 10 of them. In a row and be fine in a minute with no medical treatment
Your bobble-headed animations are RIDICULOUS
