(-)-HistrionicotoxinHistrionicotoxin is a poison that comes from a small brightly colored frog, called Dendrobates Histrionicus.
Chemical Formula:
C19H25N1O1
Layman's explanation:
Histrionicotoxin is a poison excreted by frogs. In order to extract this poison from frogs, the frog is often tortured in a way that it
perspires more than normal and causes it to release a white foam on it's back. The frogs can be found in the lowland tropical
rain forests or in the mountains, mostly in South and Central America.
Histrionicotoxin has also been used to preserve arrows. In the 1800s, tribes of native
Indians used it to cover their arrows and blowgun darts with the compound when they went hunting.
