Disclaimer: If you use the information in this file to kill somebody
|

and get caught, and then decide to tell the judge that it was my
|
|
fault, good. Go ahead. Judges just LOVE losers like you who think
|
|
that everybody is responsible for your actions except yourself. You
|
|
tell him that, and he'll probably tack another 10 years to your 60
|
|
year jail sentence.

|
|
AMANITA PHALLOIDES (Mushrooms) - This kind of mushroom is
|
|
distinguishable from its non-lethal, tasty twin AGARICUS CAMPESTRIS by
|
|
its tiny white scales and warts. You can cook amanita without
|
|
detoxificating it at all, so it is quite easy to serve this baby up to
|
|
somebody without arousing suspicion. You've got 12 hours to head down
|
|
to Mexico before your victim gets hit with relatively mild nausea,
|
|
vomiting and diarrhea. These won't be too bad for another day or so,
|
|
when they will become bad enough that he will seek medical assistance.
|
|
But by then it may be too late, and death by circulatory collapse may
|
|
have occurred. If not, then in 3 or 4 days his skin will turn yellow
|
|
from liver deterioration, and how long can you live without a liver?
|
|
|
|
ARSENIC - A classic toxin, sometimes called "inheritance powder",
|
|
because it's often used by families to snuff out Granny so they can
|
|
inherit her money before the hospital bills consume it. It is a
|
|
white, tasteless, odorless powder sold in the form of compounds such
|
|
as ant paste or weed killer.
|
|
If the victim is to die quickly, 1 gram of this substance will do
|
|
the job. In 3 or 4 hours, the victim lays deathly ill, puking and
|
|
shitting all over the place, and in 1 to 3 days he will die from
|
|
cirulatory collapse.
|
|
For a slower, lingering death, feed your victim extremely small
|
|
doses of arsenic on a daily basis. Gradually, the victim gets weaker,
|
|
starts losing his hair, his skin roughens and white ridges appear on
|
|
his nails (Aldrich-Mees lines.) The symptoms then increase to include
|
|
multiple nerve paralysis, hoarseness and a hacking cough. Numbness
|
|
and coldness creep up the victims limbs and, over a matter of years,
|
|
they become completely paralyzed. This method may backfire, because
|
|
if the doses are too small, the victim's body then has a chance to
|
|
build up a tolerance to arsenic, and becomes practically immune to the
|
|
poison. In some cases, a would-be arsenic victim has swallowed
|
|
arsenic for the first time, and had no effect from it. Rasputin, for
|
|
example, was naturally immune to arsenic.
|
|
|
|
CARBON MONOXIDE - You Nazis can just skip over this section because
|
|
you know all about this. Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless gas
|
|
that attaches itself to the body's hemoglobin to the point that the
|
|
blood cannot carry oxygen to body cells, and the body simply
|
|
suffocates. Beginning symptoms are headaches, giddiness, shortness of
|
|
breath from exertion, and tinitus (ear ringing). The lack of oxygen
|
|
to the brain then causes a sort of drunken state, which means that
|
|
even if the victim knows that someone is trying to fuck him over, he's
|
|
too wasted to do anything about it. Even if the victim doesn't die,
|
|
amnesia from the oxygen deprivation will prevent him from identifying
|
|
his assassin. The latter stage of the poisoning is marked by a
|
|
cherry-red discoloration of the skin, and a breathing disorder called
|
|
the Cheyne-Stokes pattern sets in. This is a pattern of 30 seconds of
|
|
no breathing followed by 6 to 8 rapidly increasing deep breaths, and
|
|
the cycle turns over. After this, there remains only convulsions,
|
|
unconsciousness, a fever of 108o and then death, usually within 48
|
|
hours. If not, then probably between 3 to 8 days later the grim
|
|
reaper will at last harvest the victim's life. Even if the victim is
|
|
hardy enough to recover after all this, he will probably turn
|
|
psychotic!
|
|
Carbon monoxide can be produced from a number of sources:
|
|
smoldering coke or charcoal, a low-lit hibachi grill, and of course,
|
|
an automobile exhaust pipe.
|
|
|
|
CURARE - This is derived from something called CHRONDRODENDRON
|
|
TOMENTOSUM. Curare works only as an injection, because digestion is
|
|
supposed to be harmless. I wouldn't take it either way, myself.
|
|
Curare affects the human body by impairing the communication of nErve
|
|
impulses to the muscles, causing paralyzation. Within minutes the
|
|
victim starts coughing a little and his face flushes. The poison
|
|
works from head to toe, so the eyEs will droop as the first sign of
|
|
paralysis, followed by the inability to swallow or speak. When the
|
|
diaphragm is frozen, the lungs can NO longer respirate, and
|
|
suffocation causes death before any other significant symptoms can
|
|
occur.
|
|
Curare is ideal for assassination, because it is extremely hard
|
|
to detect. However, if it is detected, the victim can be saved by an
|
|
1-ampule injection of prostigmin.
|
|
|
|
CYANIDE - Cyanide works by rending oxygen in blood unusable by the
|
|
body. A person who takes cyanide will have difficulty breathing, but
|
|
will turn bright pink from an abundance of unused oxygen. Cyanide can
|
|
be derived from bitter almonds and peach and apricot pits. In fact,
|
|
cyanide poisoning can be detected by almond-breath, as well as the
|
|
skin discoloration. The antidote is an amyl nitrite pearl
|
|
|
|
HEROIN - Almost any illegal drug can be used to kill, but heroine is
|
|
particularly lethal. Heroine is usually cut or diluted with quinine
|
|
and sugars, but pure heroine is poison. Even a hardened junkie
|
|
couldn't handle that. If a junkie normally takes a lot of heroine,
|
|
then cuts back for awhile, a large injection of cut heroine, even a
|
|
dosage size he's tolerated in the past, will be an overdose.
|
|
Unconsciousness is instantaneous from a heroine overdose; O.D.'s
|
|
have often been found with the needle still in their arm. Coma
|
|
occurs, and breathing slows to about 2 to 3 respirations per minute.
|
|
The pupils pinpoint, blood pressure plummets causing the skin to grow
|
|
cold and clammy, and as blood supply to the brain disappears the
|
|
pupils yawn wide open as death wraps its fingers around the victim.
|
|
|
|
NERVE GAS - This encompasses several poisons, including Tabun, Sarin
|
|
(T-46), Soman, DFP (DCP), all of which work pretty much the same way.
|
|
These are typically odorless and colorless, and can be either inhaled
|
|
or absorbed by the skin. These poisons break down acetylcholine, a
|
|
neural transmitter to the muscles, which causes hyperexcitability.
|
|
Symptoms are a runny nose, wheezing, tightness in the chest,
|
|
salivation, light intolerance, paralysis and death.
|
|
Atropine is an antidote, but while EARLY Nazi gases took up to 20
|
|
minutes to work, newer gases work so quickly that antidote
|
|
administration is somewhat impractical.
|
|
|
|
STRYCHNINE - This poison is used as for sadism and torture as much as
|
|
IS FOR murder. Onset time is a mere 15 minutes, at which time the
|
|
victim is racked with horrendous, muscular convulsions, the kind that
|
|
pick you up off your feet, and contort your limbs until your bones
|
|
snap. When the victim's spasms subside, just gently nudge him to set
|
|
them off again. Death by strychnine poisoning is NOT a nice way to
|
|
go.
|
|
|
|
THALLIUM - Banned in the United States in 1965, this rat poison may
|
|
still be available in other parts of the world. Like other poisons,
|
|
this too is odorless and tasteless, which makes it fine to blend with
|
|
sugar or salt or any kind of food. This stuff takes awhile to work; 3
|
|
to 4 days after consumption is when it takes effect. At first, there
|
|
is diffuse pain and constipation, dark pigmentation around hair roots,
|
|
and psychological disturbances. During the second week after
|
|
consumption, the victim starts losing all body hair (except for
|
|
eyebrows and pubies), and the skin turns dry and scaly. There are
|
|
heart palpatations, paralysis and blindness. Death occurs due to
|
|
pneumonia and lung congestion.
|
|
Thallium is like arsenic, in that it can be administered slowly,
|
|
in several small doses over many months.
|
|
|
|
WARFARIN - Another rat poison, but this one is legal here in the U.S..
|
|
Its effect on the body is that is interferes with the bloodclotting
|
|
system. The victim shows signs of bleeding in the form of nosebleeds,
|
|
gum bleeding, bruises, bloody urine, and bloody stool. There's one
|
|
problem with warfarin, or benefit, depending on how you look at it.
|
|
It only effects humans in extremely large doses. But it does mix well
|
|
with porridge or stew, and multiple doses may be employed.
|
|
The antidote is large doses of vitamin K.

A doctor's bag contains many substances which are not intended as
|
|
poison, but can certainly be used for that purpose. Here are a but a
|
|
few potential medical toxins.
|
|
|
|
AMPHETAMINE - Speeds up metabolism.
|
|
|
|
BARBITURATE - Slows the metabolism.
|
|
|
|
BUBBLE - Yes, a bubble of air. Injected into the bloodstream, a large
|
|
one can cause a heart attack.
|
|
|
|
CALCIUM - Causes kidney failure, which causes coma, resulting in
|
|
death.
|
|
|
|
INSULIN - Lowers the level of blood sugar, resulting in convultions
|
|
and death.
|
|
|
|
OXYGEN - This removes the body's drive to breath. This causes
|
|
emphysema and results in carbon dioxide narcosis.
|
|
|
|
POTASSIUM - Gradually reduces the heartbeat to about 0 beats per
|
|
minute.
