Toxic: from Deadly Weapons to Life-Saving Antidotes, See How Earth's Deadliest Toxins Became Biochemistry Masters

Very good. It provided me with a lot of ideas for my OC construction. It introduced poisons and their impact on human society in different sections. It was clear and interesting. It has now been added to the luxury package that can be used for two times. Gorgeous and deadly, but dwarfed by human might. They have evolved to survive and have unique characteristics. It is awe-inspiring, but it also brings distance. This book is mainly about animal toxins, such as scorpions, snakes, platypuses or monitor lizards. It explains in simple terms, supplemented by stories or cases, to show you this unknown world. In theory, I gradually dispelled the fear of the unknown. I discovered that the biggest fear about drugs is the unknown. Now, knowing the classification of toxins and how they work, I am no longer so afraid of these poisons. Understanding is to live better, and similarly, toxins are evolved to live better. So, please dance with these poisons. Perhaps in the future, these toxins will become new saviors.

The content of this book is so interesting! The author tells the story of venom in vivid language, making it easy for me, a person who doesn't know much about science, to understand it easily. Moreover, the author personally went to explore poisonous animals, which is really brave! This book gave me a new understanding of venom. It turns out that it is not only a deadly weapon, but also a potentially life-saving antidote. Recommended to friends who are interested in science and animals!

This book tells us what poison is and how it works. I think the alchemist in fantasy novels should be an expert in poison. Only by mastering physiology and toxicology can he make elixirs with a purpose.

Fear is the emotion furthest from truth. "Poison" undoubtedly has the properties of fear and resistance. But this book has the charm of making people want to know more about poisons. I think, as a popular science work, it can get 5 stars from me. This work is very readable, and the author's own research and desire to explore poisons are well conveyed to the readers. From shallow to deep, from small to big, without dropping the book bag, without the arrogance of a professional, just like chatting with friends, like gossiping about one's own "accident". But the rigorous arguments are still full of charm, and the argument about whether the saliva of the Komodo dragon contains highly toxic bacteria is very exciting. Before this I had always thought that Komodo dragons hunted through salivary bacteria in their mouths. Also, I'm interested in the reaction between snake venom and dopamine. This chapter is very interesting.

It's a pretty good book that expands one's horizons. The author really has a serious understanding of toxins before writing it in such depth. Especially the parts about snake venom entertainment and the medical future of toxins make people feel that this is a book full of justice and hope.

There are many species mentioned in it... It can be seen that the author is knowledgeable and talented

Very good wonderful

Very good, very interested

It introduces toxins and their effects on people by category, allowing people to understand the infinite possibilities of toxins in pharmaceuticals. As a popular science article, it is also quite interesting.

It's nice to hear. It's a very interesting story from a book perspective.

Awesome👍🏻What a great book!

It's good-looking and a good popular science book.
