Batrachotoxin is one of the most potent non-peptide based poisons known to man. It is commonly utilized in poison darts from, funnily enough, poison-dart frogs.
It is a highly potent steroidal alkaloid that is cardiotoxic and neurotoxic. To date, no antidote has been developed.
Interestingly, there is evidence that in order for the frogs to secrete the chemical, they need to have a diet that includes Melyrid beetles. The mechanism for this not yet understood fully, but it is believed that the melyrid beetle accumulates batrachotoxin, or its precursors, through its diet
Chlorine trifluoride is famous for its ability to corrode glass. It is a so-called interhalogen compound that is colorless, highly corrosive, and an extremely reactive chemical.
It is mainly used as a component of rocket fuel and can only really be stored in fluorine-treated metal containers. When this nasty chemical meets water, it results in a highly explosive reaction.
Potassium cyanide is a highly poisonous chemical that kills in minutes. For this reason, it has historically been used as a suicide pill by some prominent people in history.
Victims include the likes of Eva Braun (Hitler's longtime partner), Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, Alan Turing, and many more. It is also used by professional entomologists as a killing agent in collecting jars, for particularly sensitive insect specimens.
Venomous Agent X, is a nasty nerve agent specifically designed for use in war. It was created by British military researchers and is deadly in doses as low as 10 mg.
It is a synthetic chemical compound in the organophosphorus class, specifically, a thiophosphonate.
VX can enter the body through inhalation or absoption into the skin and doesn't easily break down in the environment. Exposure to VX kills by severely disrupting the signaling between the nervous and muscular systems, leading to a prolonged paralysis of all the muscles in the body including the diaphragm, causing death by asphyxiation
5. Botulinum toxin A, also known as Botox

Botox, or Botulinum toxin A, is a very common cosmetic chemical that also happens to be one of the most toxic chemicals found in nature. This neurotoxic protein is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and other related species.
It is so toxic that just 1.3-2.1 ng/kg of it would be enough to kill someone if injected. So you might well ask, why is it used in cosmetic surgery?
Because of its ability to paralyze muscles, it is ideally suited for treating things like wrinkles, and prevents muscle spasms when used in extremely small doses.
