Cone snails can either be very large or medium-sized, depending on where they are found. These snails are predatory and quite sophisticated, as far as snails go. The snail releases its venom which contains neurotoxins. If a human gets stung by this snail, he will be in pain for a long time but studies show that the venom should
                                        replace morphine in the coming years because not only is it an effective
                                        pain-reliever but it is not addictive at all.

3. Wolfsbane
Wolfsbane is a flower which releases a deadly poison called nabee, bikh or bish.

Digitalis is a flower which contains certain steroidal glycosides and is also known as Dead Man’s Bells. The plant is so poisonous that if you happen to nibble at it, you will die almost instantly. The interesting part is that the plant is used to make medicines that help to control very fast heart rate and atrial fibrillation
.
5. Copperhead Venom
The Copperhead is a patient snake which will wait for hours and trick its prey into thinking that it is harmless. Usually, it stays away from humans but if they happen to step on them by mistake, they will not hesitate to inject their venom into them.

                                     growth rate of cancer cells.

6. Hemlock
