The toxin was discovered in 1909 by Dr. Yoshizumi Tahara. This poison can cause paralysis in the muscles of the body.

Toxicologist will use urine or blood samples of poisoned victims to be able to determine which toxin was used on the victim. Poisoning from TTX can occur when organs or flesh of the fish is improperly prepared. After exposure to TTX, the side effects are death as soon as 20 to 40 min or can be delayed to as late as 24 hrs after the exposure. Victims that survive after 24 hr exposure can take days to recover, with having symptoms of weakening and paralysis in the muscles. TTX has not been found to be addictive but users of heroin could possibly get used to taking this toxin often for withdrawal relief.]]> 2021-12-01 14:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyerne/kx4wwxtyj174sbxx/wish/1922929111 emilyerne https://padlet.com/emilyerne/kx4wwxtyj174sbxx/wish/1922945614 This is a physcodelic drug that was first discovered by chemist, Albert Hoffman, on Nov. 16, 1938. LSD can be found in a fungus known as ergot. Depending on the amount taken, LSD can have many different effects. It is known to have effects like, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth or tremors, blood pressure and body temperature can increase or decrease, and synsthesia ("hearing" colors and "seeing" sounds).

LSD remains in the blood for in between 6 to 12 hours. Urine test can be done as well but only in between 8 hours after use and 2 to 4 days after use. Taking too much LSD can lead to dissociation and alienation. Some more effects from abuse can be depression, anxiety, panic attacks, visual hallucinations and flashbacks. The risk for overdose of LSD is very low. LSD can be very dangerous when mixed with other drugs, causing thoughts of suicide, psychosis, and hypothermia. ]]> 2021-12-03 13:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyerne/kx4wwxtyj174sbxx/wish/1927307480
