Hi Harro, if I rememvber rightly Botulin is the most toxic naturally
occuring substance, but that it was rivaled in the overall nastiness
stakes by plutonium, which is not naturally occuring except in outback
South Australia.
Many cases of PCB toxicity exist, the lucky ones only got a nasty case of
acne...
