    Hey @moe0001,

    The most toxic chemical that I can think of is called chlorotoxin. Its actually a venom from the deathstalker scorpion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathstalker
    If you’re smaller than us humans then you’re going to have a really bad day if you get bitten.

    If you’re human (which I guess you are ;)) then botuminum toxin is one of the worst chemicals around. It is all over the world is small amounts and can become a problem when some foods are not cooked properly.

    Nerve gases, like what was used Syria recently are not the most toxic, but will certainly cause horrible injuries to most living things.
