Considering that we have a large population, and that a certain percentage of any given population is bughouse, it's a wonder these incidents are so rare.
The CIA, at great trouble and expense got hold of the hideously lethal venom of a rare cone shell, lethal in a very short time, and in tiny quantities. It might have been used on very small darts to achieve the effect that poison darts have in the movies. hiss,thunk,plop.
When the USA renounced CBR weapons in the mid 70s, a small drum of this stuff was found in a vault, and the Democrats went witch hunting, howling in outrage.
Granted that it was something that was a bio weapon, it should have been destroyed, still, it had cost Uncle Sam a small fortune, and that it was more a weapon of certain, speedy individual destruction than a WMD.
The wacky world of spook weapons has again turned and bitten us. |
are you referring to saxitoxin? |

The substance was referred to as 'shellfish toxin' , and was derived from a cone shell found in the pacific.
The mollusk is prized by collectors, after death, it develops beautiful colors.
this creature is a fascinating life form, it delivers the toxin by way of an organic harpoon, launched from within its shell.
the sea is a very strange place. |
