Toxin Novels & Stories

The identity of the vampire seemed secondary; she was far more intrigued with the results of such a mixture as Kendalf described. She had studied plants and herbs extensively. Common ones like foxglove and rhododendrons could produce paralysis. She knew, too, that toad venom of itself could be lethal. Certain tribes in various parts of the world had discovered its properties and used it to tip their darts, spears, and arrows. Somehow the blend of root and berries and toxin must paralyze the nervous system, even affect the mind. "How is it administered?" "It has to be in the bloodstream," Kendalf said.

“What is this... Aconite? That’s poison? Tell me.” The man adjusts his glasses, clearing his throat. “Yes, Signore Moretti. Aconitum napellus, more commonly known as monkshood or wolfsbane. It’s one of the most dangerous naturally occurring toxins. Even a small dose can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness and irregular heartbeat. In higher or repeated doses…” He trails off, studying my face carefully. “It causes paralysis of the respiratory system. That is...death.” I stare blankly, my head buzzing. “You’re saying my mother’s been drinking this?”

However, just like the doctor had explained there was an inexplicable battle going on inside of him and this was because they didn't know what Luca had done prior to that moment. Luca recalled the result one of his guards had reported about Alex housing a particular toxin. Luca knew that this toxin was for him and only him, what he didn't know was how Alex planned to use it. He then asked the guard to get a sample which he did and the test came out that this toxin was indeed dangerous and can cause paralysis.

I was annoyed that I could still feel the pain and he was making it hard for me to forget it. “Please. I want to forget it..” I pleaded. I started crying there but I didn't care. I just wanted to let it out as I felt like my heart was being squeezed tightly and it was unbearable. “Let me forget even just for now..” I sobbed. I just cried there and all the staff came to me for comfort. I didn't like it and I convinced them that only the tequila would make it stop. I almost emptied the bottle when I couldn't open my eyes anymore. I could hear the staffs talking to me but I couldn't open my mouth as well. My head was spinning and my body felt heavy. I had no strength to even lift a finger and j

I, myself, prefer poisons; doesn’t mean I always use them. I reach into my purse, withdraw the syringe I have tucked away, and slip it into my sleeve. Since Silas and I need Haruspex alive to question him, I brought one of my favourite little cocktails. The mixture is a chemically altered combination of botulinum toxin and hyoscyamus niger, also known as henbane. Botulinum toxin is a highly potent neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. The same protein that is responsible for both botulism and botox. That’s right, the same neurotoxin tha

He begins. "Taipoxin is the active ingredient in the venom; it is a complex mixture of neurotoxins, procoagulants, and myotoxins. Its bite paralyses muscles and ruptures blood vessels and tissues, resulting in muscular injury. It is primarily found in Australia." He speaks with a smattering of fascination before gently placing the vial on his desk, his gaze fixed on the exquisite gold watch on his wrist. I lean forward, my pulse quickening as I pick up the vial and bring it closer towards my eyes, examining it.

he managed to ask, his voice trembling. Blaze's eyes gleamed with dark amusement as he circled Varik. "When toxikon is in its liquid form, it acts slowly, giving the body time to react and fight back. But when it's frozen, the ice crystals penetrate the skin more deeply, delivering the poison directly into the bloodstream." He paused for a moment, letting his words sink in before continuing, "Do you know what happens when toxikon is introduced directly into the bloodstream? It becomes exponentially more lethal. "When ingested, stomach acid neutralizes much of the poison, causing only severe weakness and delayed healing. But there is no stomach acid in your bloodstream. The body's defenses ar

Jack leans back slightly, giving me space. “Go on.” I hesitate. Just for a second. “What if someone was poisoned?” I ask carefully. “A very strong toxin… something that suppresses healing. What would you do?” His eyes flicker with interest. “What kind of toxin?” he asks. “Wolfbane.” Silence settles between us. Jack’s expression doesn’t change much, but something sharp passes through his gaze. “Severe exposure?” he asks. “Yes. A lot. It almost killed her.” A chill rushes through me as I whisper. “Despite how strong she was, it… almost took her from me.”

Mumbling a weird incantation, she placed her hand on my chest while shutting her eyes and suddenly snapped her eyes open. “Healer, what’s wrong?” Rhoda asked with furrowed eyebrows on seeing her reactions. “I can sense a venomous powder in her bloodstream. Her blood has been poisoned… it is a rare toxin that burns the heart… its pain is usually severe. Much worse than the pain of ripping the heart off the chest.” The healer explained. Kyle freaked out. “Who could have done that? What do we do, healer? How do we get the toxin out of her bloodstream?”

Then a heavy sigh, weighted with years of worry and unspoken fears. "It's not good..." Helen's voice trembled with exhaustion and confusion. "He told me not to tell you. But his blood work shows a strange neurotoxin residue. It seems to have been dormant for years, but recently it broke through his brainstem defenses. The last two months, he's been using several times the safe dose of nerve blockers to keep going. Those drugs activated the toxin. His body has been overloaded for a long time." Helen paused, her breath catching. "I don't know what kind of poison it is. But if we don't find the original inhibitor data chain before
