Sort of... In General. selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160883000 Opener: What are neurotoxins. How do they work / affect us.

Middle: Fun Stuff...

  • Where are they found?                    
    • Food, Water, Health Products, Vaccines

  • How are they used and considered beneficial?
    • Botox, Fluoride, Medication

  • Mad Hatter Syndrome.... Jobs with exposure to them? (Dentistry)

  • Conspiracies
    • Chemical Warfare
    • Vaccines: Autism?

It is classified as a nerve agent because it affects the transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous system.

VX works by affecting the enzyme (acetylcholinesterase) that acts as the body’s ‘off switch’ for glands and muscles. With the enzyme blocked, molecules constantly stimulate the muscles. As the muscles spasm, they tire. Death is caused by asphyxiation or heart failure.]]> 2017-03-17 19:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160883689 selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160885002 2017-03-17 19:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160885002 selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160885411 2017-03-17 19:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160885411 selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160885805 2017-03-17 19:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160885805 VX Nerve Agent in North Korean's Murder: How Does It Work? selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160886406 Traces of the lethal chemical, smeared on Kim Jong-nam’s face at a Malaysian airport, can penetrate skin and kill fast.]]> 2017-03-17 19:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160886406 Alcohol is a neurotoxin? selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160887530 When alcohol circulates through the body, it takes about 6 minutes to arrive to the brain. Alcohol affects the neurotransmitters, or substances that are transmitted via nerve endings in the central nervous system. Alcohol can lead to false or altered transmission, which can cause acute damage.]]> 2017-03-17 19:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160887530 What Are Neurotoxins? selenemcbride146 https://padlet.com/selenemcbride146/kwppscj5qyrm/wish/160888103
Neurotoxins may be classified as:

  • Drugs of abuse (like methamphetamine)
  • Endogenous neurotoxins (like quinolinic acid)
  • Heavy metals (like lead)
  • Solvents (like methanol)
  • Additives or adulterants (like fluoride)
  • Food-derived neurotoxins (like domoic acid or acrylamide)
  • Research chemicals (like N-methyl D-aspartate)
  • Proteins like botulinum toxin
  • Some prescription drugs (e.g., Haloperidol ... AKA Haldol for schizophrenia)
