Number 5 only 90's kids will remember!!!!!
Scary. I live in a small town and a man was getting a sore stomach, was puking, he didn't know what was happening for months he went to the doctor, finally figured out his wife was poisoning his food!
I can relate to that I was dating this guy and I couldnt figure out how I was getting so drunk off 3 or 4 drinks (I'm a heavy Irish drinker). Come to find out he was giving me GHB in my cocktails. People need help, that's a good idea because in hindsight it made perfect since but at the time it was the last thing I was thinking. You live with someone and learn to trust them, I wish I had known red flags about the drug and more information sooner. Like if you end up in the ER it can be gone by the next morning, meanwhile the ER just thinks your heavily drunk. Thought it was lack of sleep, not eating enough, maybe me taking my medicine at night with the cocktails nope someone being an *sshole
Georgi Markov, the guy that was poked with an umbrella and injected with a tiny metal ball with ricin in it, I surely thought would be on this list. They should do an episode on poisons that are detectable yet untreatable.
One of the most toxic poison's was Belladonna.
They have.
Yup ricin and similar peptides can be extremely difficult to detect and very deadly.

I remember reading about a woman who drank antifreeze and then drank a bunch of vodka. Because ethanol is the cure for antifreeze ingestion, she accidentally saved herself from dying.
Reminds me of the episode of House where the death row guy drank printer toner, but House gave him alcohol and he survived the toner

So that's how so many people survived the ethylene glycerol scandal in Europe. The Alcohol in the products reduced lethality.
In pets at least, the treatment for ethylene glycol poisoning is IV ethanol. Yes, if your dog drinks antifreeze, the vet saves it by getting it drunk!
Yup. Same applies to humans when they are experiencing methanol poisoning.
Dogs are twice as susceptible to ethylene glycol as humans, also to cyanide. Chocolate will kill dogs too.
It works by keeping the enzymes that would oxidize the ethylene glycol to glycolic acid busy by converting the much more abundant ethanol to acetic acid. Or in case of methanol, the DNA-destroying formaldehyde.
I was at a restaurant that used oleander as decoration on the food. I told them it was poisonous but they did not care.
It only takes 1 to spread the message.

0#: "Murder is bad"
1#: Arsenic is outdated.
2#: Use multiple poisons at once, because doctors have to do educated guesses, but who would suspect two poissons.
3#: Thallium is pretty good, but slow.
4#: Polonium is expensive I heard and it is just cruel.
5#: Antifreeze taste sweet, works and is easily available.
6#: Oleander may be hard to detect and it looks beautyful.
I wish everyone a healthy meal...;D
So you're saying oleander + antifreeze = best poison? I need to test this... for science, of course!
add antifreeze to a cocktail and oleander in a fancy meal
Bookmarked. :P
you should try organic mercury. 2 drops are enough to kill and it gets absorbed by the skin. takes a lot of time for symtopms to show up as well.
Antifreeze and oleander ice cream it is then. :P

Tomorrow on SciShow: 3 ways to completely destroy a corpse
Until then, anyone who's knows a good way to get rid of a stinking smell?
Tyler Peterson Police hate this!!! how to dispose of a corpse WITH NO EVIDENCE
Like in breaking bad: Dissolving it in acid and flushing it down a toilet.
"anyone who's knows a good way to get rid of a stinking smell?" ==> Drench the corpse in "Thioacetone" (C3H6S).
Nobody will EVER notice the stench of death whilst retching their guts from a half-mile away.
Getting rid of flesh is easy, it's the bones you gotta worry about. Wood chipper is usually the best solution, followed by burning the mulch or dissolving it in lye for complete and rapid disposal

I was hoping you would include the antidotes and treatments for these poisons, but nonetheless good video.
A herpetology mentor of mine once told me of a family who was traveling cross country, camping along the way. They stopped one night and decided to cut a few sticks from a bush to roast some hot dogs for dinner. The highway patrol found them all deceased, next to a patch of oleander bushes along the highway. They had no clue that the sticks holding the hot dogs over the flames were deadly poisonous. 😳
Lose the shirt
Stick to using known, safe woods for anything to do with food.
Best thing to do is have good old tried and tested skewers lying around on such trips. It may be used or not but atleast u won't return home dead!!
As a teen I wore oleander flowers in my hair. Loved their aroma.
It is a tale in many countries...
I survived being poisoned. I got sick after eating fish while in France. The doctor said it was... le poisson.
Explanation: "Poisson" is the French word for fish.

Oleanders are everywhere in AZ. I was helping at my Grandma's assisted living facility in early 2020 and chatting with a new resident outside. She mentioned the beautiful flowers on all the bushes around, and she was planning to pick some leaves to see if they made a good tea. "No! Absolutely don't do that! Oleanders are very toxic." At first she thought I was joking, but someone else confirmed it to her. I spoke to the administrators who decided they should remind all residents of this fact in the next weekly newsletter.
In 19th century England, Arsenic (before the test to discover it was perfected) - was referred to as inheritance powder.

How to do a murder
Step 1: Don't.
Step 2: use one of these
Step 3: Don't Brag About it.
Yea if you want to kill some one, use them all. its better to over kill than under kill.
The perfect murder weapon is a sharp thick icicle. No fingerprint, it will eventuall melt leaving no murder weapon behind. Right through the heart will do it. Just be sure to wear a full body suit, cover shoes in those disposable shoe coverd. Makes.sure you shower and shave beforehand so you dont leave any hair or skin cells behind....dont pay for anything used in the preperation by card or online. Dont tell anyone and dont find the body. Dont kill a person you know either. Stranger murders are harder to solve. I watch al9t pf murder shows and know how not to be caught
chelsea greer, yeah it was pretty clear you got all that from watching t.v: you can't stab someone in the heart with an icicle, your sternum is too strong.
@@nuadathesilverhand3563 would be so awkward when the icicle breaks after the stab atempt and you both just sitting there like wtf now. Also even if it did work you now probably have blood on you and your dna would be around the victem
Arsenic is one of the first things they look for in a suspicious deaths both cyanide and arsenic are blood agents
Hi Hank, I love your content and the delivery you use to educate us. Thank you.
Thank You so much. I really needed this
Talking about poisons, there is a really good book called “A is for Arsenic: the poisons of Agatha Christie” by Kathryn Harkup. A very accurate scientific book, NOT to use for killing anyone of course.
It’s entirely possible I’ve increased my tolerance for arsenic. I eat about five apples every day. And yes, including the seeds. The seeds are the treat inside the apple.
I have a very rare craving for bitter foods. I eat as much bitter melon my system can handle, for example. I know that apple seeds contain arsenic, but they’re tasty. What can I say?
Thanks so much for this!

And just to clarify things here im only messing arround dont try this at home please
nala beans lye
Fun Fact:-
Cynaide does not smell like bitter almonds
Bitter almonds smell like dampened cynaide
Because Bitter almonds contain cynaide
More precise amygdalin, which can be transformed by chemical reactions to hydrogen cyanide. Bitter almonds themself does not contain hydrogen cyanide and they are although not good, they aren't also poisonous (they are source to make a hydrogen cyanide, but not the only one). Once by accident I ate few of them but I did not get poisoned.
Cyanide smells a bit sweet, like amaretto liquor. First smelled it when I caught a big yellow and black centipede as a kid. They make cyanide as a defense mechanism apparently.
Thank you for this useful information 😀
My father was poisoned with Arsenic and almost died, but thanks to a 3rd doctors opinion they saved him. He still suffered severe nerve loss and took years of rehabilitation to walk again. Arsenic may not be common today but it certainly happens.

You should have mentioned the antidotes too. For example, the antidote for cyanide is cobalamin, a type of vitamin b. Cobalamin reacts with cyanide too form cyanidecobalamin, which is harmless and can be eliminated through urine.
I don’t know if it has been done before, but a video about the chemistry behind doping and why it is considered cheating would be interesting
cobalamin is better known as Vitamin B-12.
There is no antidote for drinking enough cyanide.

As for the sweetness of Ethylene Glycol (which is not the same as Ethylene), I am surprised there was no mention of the great wine scandal some years ago, where fraudsters sold it as a sweetener to wine makers. All wine from an entire country ended up unsellable even the brands that were not forcefully recalled after testing.
I really thought that was just a Simpsons thing!! Wow!!😆🤔😳😓
Technically the truth!!
Which is why modern antifreeze has additives to make it unpalatable.

To my FBI agent, I'm just watching this for research purposes.
I chewed on an oleander leaf once, as a kid. Thank god a teacher asked what I was doing and told me to spit it out.
Oleander has a high LD50. Chewing on 1 leaf wouldn't have killed you.
Wow dude you are VERY lucky
Wat did it taste like?
Bahaha I swallowed it and I still breathe!
Oleander is a common plant in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Lots of kids try eating some. It must not be a very strong poison. They don't die.
I had neighbors that poisoned our dogs with antifreeze-soaked meat, growing up. I sell remember the poor puppers throwing up, drooling... I remember them mentioning the crystals forming in them at the vet. It was so horrible... we couldn't do anything to confirm he did it, even though we knew and he even bragged about it later, so no justice was served, either.
😟🥺
I hope your vet euthanized them. 😥

great vid as always
Thank you for this video it’s very informative. I came across it because I had a random moment of curiosity about ‘invisible’ poisons. Years ago I heard the term (and sorry for the misspelling)… but what about Sacomaglichol… it kills cells but then turns everything else into water. So essentially it just breaks the human body down to it’s essential components (Oxygen and Hydrogen). There for starving all of the systems. Sorry for my ignorance but this is something I heard about from ‘Bones’ which is by now a very dated TV series 😂
working in a hospital lab, we actually get tests for ethylene glycol and methanol back relatively quickly from an outside lab (about 2 hours) when docs suspect poisoning. it's quite common among hardcore alcoholics to poison themselves when they have no access to alcohol
You work in a lab?
@@ricksullivan95 A hospital lab is literally just a centralized place for testing for various illnesses. A small hospital might have to wait weeks to get a result back, even though the test itself takes a few days. A larger hospital has a internal testing lab, so there's faster turnaround times for tests. They still do have to outsource some tests, because the internal lab won't be able to do every single test imaginable.
Do you know of a lab where someone can send something in to be analyzed? Just a private person, no hospital or doctor sending it in.

NSA won't actually do anything. If they did, it would tip people off that they've been snooping and have a back door. They would literally allow a murder to happen to prevent knowledge of their snooping getting out. Similar to the scene in the movie The Imitation Game where they let the Germans sink a boat than to save the boat and tip the Germans off.
I’ve had thallium as a medical imaging tool. Unfortunately it made me incredibly nauseous after, but that is a rare side effect of the form and dose they use. It is usually completely fine :)

Very informative. Thank you for providing this information. I wouldn’t worry so much about people drinking antifreeze, It’s animals that do ingest it sometimes. Polar bears in the Arctic have before. Hopefully people have enough common sense not to!
I would have thought Ricin and Nutmeg would be on this list because Ricin is found in Castor Beans so it would be hard to determine whether a poisoning was caused by self inflicted accident or murder. And with nutmeg being a common spice used to add flavor to things, many people probably wouldn't think it would be used to kill someone.
The sweet aromatic nutmeg!!!😮
nutmeg won't kill you if you've ever tripped on it before
Ricin works because there is no antidote for it.I would argue that he's wrong about Aersnic because he says it would feel like bad fatal food poisoning;if it feels that bad wouldn't you already be dead?
Important Note: While Rasputin's assassins had attempted to kill him with cyanide, they failed due to the simple fact that he never actually ingested any. The cyanide was in petit fours, and Rasputin got heartburn from sugar, and so avoided things like petit fours.
Yeah. It was in the cakes, but he skipped dessert, so they shot him.

Also, fun fact about ethylene glycol: the best antidote for it is alcohol. At least according to Chubbyemu, it’s processed by the same enzymes as those that process ethylene glycol, and is preferred by them; as long as there’s alcohol in the body, the enzymes will mostly digest that, meaning the glycol is digested slowly enough that the body can handle the byproducts as they come.
Arsenic also occurs naturally in the soil in many areas of the world. There are problems with it in SE Asia and Bangladesh were it can get into the food supply, especially rice from growing in the soil

Very interesting tidbit of information concerning ethylene glycol poisoning:
National Geographic and Forensic Files detailed a case where the culprit killed their victim with antifreeze-laced Gatorade. After reading about this case, a friend showed me the episode and I told him that I knew how it ended the moment I recognized the pattern of how the poisoner was poisoning the victim. I said, "I know exactly how this ends and exactly what the murderer used to kill his victim. I won't spoil it, but you'll find it interesting."
Moral of the story? Murder by poison is often caused by people closest to the victim and poisoners are often very good liars, often pathologically so.
My great grandfather poisoned and killed at least 5 of his wives, he had 9. They were immigrants and all in their 20s, he was old. I don't think he killed any of his kids. He would abandon them with his dead wife's families. He was an herbalist in S Texas. My grandmother, other side of the family, sent me the recipe for oleander tea. I threw it out as soon as I saw it.
This is extremely fascinating, I always was interested in poisons!! Maybe not as a career, but maybe as just brain knowledge just in case I need to kill something.
I had an old white lady neighbor whose dog mysteriously died. Vet found out that it was antifreeze poisoning. My mom kept a gallon of antifreeze sitting outside of our house. I had always been scared of the lady's dog because it was big and it always jumped on me. So she automatically assumed that I was the one who poisoned her dog.
She got a new dog just like the old one. She secretly had cameras installed outside her house. The new dog died, from antifreeze poisoning just like the other one.
She checked her cameras. Found out her own son, who live out of state came and poisoned her dog.
He admitted to poisoning the first dog to. He said he did it because his family were coming for a visit and both of his daughters were scared of the dogs. He felt like the dogs got too aggressive around them.
jesus 😬
Wow.. Some dad he must be.. And that's her own son.. jeez
He was too lazy to work on it or to make sure things were safe so he murdered precious animals he could have paid for training he could have done several things so he's basic basically no he's not basically he's a brutal stupid murderer he should be put in jail!!!!!!! 🐶🐺🐱🐴🐇
Oh wow... He is kind of psycho! If you think dog is aggressive then you can chain up them when his daughters come to house and try to make them more familiar with each other... That's how you try to solve problems not by killing innocent dogs.
I can imagine an excuse for the first one but the second one was an entirely different animal. Like why

I keep my meds inside a combination safety box with a fear my grandkids will think is candy. The eye drops I kept them in the box as well, they are poison if they swallow them. I rather be a fatalistic scary person than my kiddos to get sick. 😕 or died.

Hey, been watching these for years now and theyre a great way to pass the time! Im a physics major and I just wanted to note that (at 7:30) mega electron volts are a unit of energy, not momentum. To be momentum it would have to be Mev/c. Keep up the great work guys!
Maybe they were using Natural units?
(Am a Physics grad student... how you doing?)
Thank you, it’s really helpful 😈
I've read two cases (modern cases) of Thalium poisoning. Definitely scary and hard to detect
I’m definitely on some sort of watch list after viewing this video. I just enjoy science I’m not a criminal! 😳
Yeaaah..........
Oops guess I'm on the wrong mind
Of course you would say that 😉
Arsenic: Cool they put me on a list
*Reads "and how to detect them"*
Arsenic: WAIT THATS NOT ALLOWED
Thanks!
Good to know when you work in the ER!!!
11:11 - "We here at SciShow do not condone poisoning your enemies, or friends"
colleagues? boss?
But can I poison my frenemies?
Christian Löfqvist what about significant others
damn, i guess I can't poison my friend now.
Family?
P-210... "tasteless"...
Who tested this???
Po210
Po is the chemical symbol for Polonium
The Russian spy
alexander litvinenko confirmed himself he did not notice any particular odor or taste when he drank the poisoned tea altough later they tested the tea pot that served him and it was hot (radioactive) even the plane where the killer entered the country had traces of radiation.luckily polonium-210 is difficult to obtain to the common citizen it is so deadly even if the doctors detect it right away the victim is already sentenced to death...
one single microgram of polonium-210 emits as much alpha particles as 5 grams of radium
@@m5spiritonfire More like one milligram, not one microgram ( ratio of half lives is about 4000 and atomic mass is similar).
Reminds me of the history of finger prints, and any analytic procedures of course.
We take them for granted today.
A new groundskeeper at a local zoo trimmed the oleander and put the trimmings in the giraffe enclosure for the animals to eat. Two of them died. The groundskeeper didn’t know better, and was absolutely devastated. He was fired, and the town gossip was that he was suicidal from guilt. It was a big news story here.
Am I going to be put on a list for watching this?
please, if you can get away with saying you are going to be a professional school shooter you can get away with looking at a video about poison (besides maybe the antifreeze is the only one easier to obtain than a gun)
You say "professional" school shooter like it's something one can do as a job.
"Yep, just got 3 more mass murders to commit this week and I'll get my paycheck. I can't believe they pay me less than my coworker just cause he had military training..."
no, I say it as it was written www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/fcc4d6e141255bef22471c81cc1d1cbd78cf23b7/c=2-0-1997-1500&r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/2018/02/15/USATODAY/USATODAY/636542946852767324-youtube-comment-021518.jpg
Put (don't worry it's for a school project) in the url
I probably got put on the list by adding this video to my Favorites section. Lol! *closes curtains & locks all doors*
Foods suspiciously smells like almonds
**CHEWS FASTER**
almonds tast good. Id be dead if I was fed cyanide lol
We have a bottle of whisky in the hospital pharmacy, for ethylene glycol poisoning. So if you are an alcoholic, you might never be able to be poisoned with antifreeze.
So satisfying watching this. Listen to it before bed
tomorrow on SciShow : *how to hide a body*
MEAT GRINDER?!~
Acid. Fire maybe.
That's all that stops me killing my boyfriend, I wouldn't be able to hide the body 0_o
Interesting video. I shall have to re-think my plot against the Queen... I mean, nothing, i just watch this for the articles. *innocent whistling*

Cerulean Skigh I was going to say his name ... wait for it ... *betrays* him!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

Careful with what you say online. You can be arrested for saying things like that. Happens very often.
And obviously, you were kidding. But be careful.
