The most toxic substance known to man is botulinum toxin. 100 nanograms is enough to kill a full-grown man; 1kg (2 pounds) would be enough to wipe out the entire human race. It is secreted by a bacterium, C. botulinum. It causes muscle paralysis by cutting off proteins which normally enable vesicle function at the neuromuscular junction.
