      Potentially botulinum toxin: a couple of teaspoons of it would kill everyone in the UK. A couple of kilos would kill everyone on Earth.The amount needed to kill a guy like me weighs less than a cubic millimetre of air. And people pay money to have it injected into their faces: it’s botox.
      (Those amazing numbers from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24551945)
