Botulinum toxins, exotoxins of Clostridium botulinum, are the most toxic naturally occurring substances known to man.
Ammonia is the most toxic excretory product which required large amount of water for its excretion.
Most toxins that cause problems in humans come from germs such as bacteria. For example, the symptoms of cholera are caused by a toxin made by cholera bacteria. Other toxins that may cause problems include metals, such as lead, and certain chemicals in the environment.
Chemical products in the home
Cleaning products like bleach, oven sprays, liquid laundry capsules and toilet cleaners are chemicals. So are paints, glues, oils, pesticides and medicines. The liquid that is used for electric cigarettes is highly toxic to children and pets.
Look for priority toxic chemicals
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances): Often found in products marketed as waterproof, or stain- and water-resistant. Flame retardants: Used to make products fire resistant or fireproof. Phthalates: Often found in fragrances and products that require flexible plastics.
The fatal in contact with skin classification is similar and applies to any substance with a dermal LD50 less than 200 mg/kg bw.
Essentially Toxic Building Syndrome is where the air quality in your home or office is so bad that it can affect the health of those inside. You see you might think you're breathing clean air, but in fact the air inside your home can have more than 900 harmful chemicals and organisms in it, which you simply cannot see.
Batrachotoxin
Curare is the best known, and comes from a plant. The most toxic, however, come from the skins of tiny frogs – and the deadliest of all is Batrachotoxin.
Fresh air (not water) is least toxic. Why? Because humans cannot overdose on air (or drown in it, or be choked by it), and can breathe it throughout the range of ambient temperatures they can otherwise survive.
Low levels of cyanides are found in nature and in products we commonly eat and use. Cyanides can be produced by certain bacteria, fungi and algae.

Very hazardous chemical products are for example those which are classified as acutely toxic and labelled with the skull and crossbones symbol, in accordance with the CLP-regulation. This apply for instans for e-liquids with a high content of nicotine.
Hazardous household chemicals may include:
Pesticides. Automotive products (like antifreeze or motor oil) Miscellaneous items (like batteries, mercury thermometers and florescent light bulbs) Flammable products (like kerosene, home heating oil, propane tanks and lighter fluid)
