Description: WHY THIS CUTE FROG 🐸 IS SO DANGEROUS ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message Me For Any Issue: Facebook Page:- facebook.com/top10informations Twitter:-https://twitter.com/TopTenInfor SUBSCRIBE:-https://goo.gl/F6pHMw Edited By : Noor Khan & Salahu Khan WHY THIS CUTE FROG 🐸 IS SO DANGEROUS ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think that snakes are the most poisonous creature, then meet the golden poison frog, which also known as “Golden-Phyllobates terribilis.” It is considered as the most toxic frog in the world. The frog is less than 2.4 inches in size and can release a colourless or milky secretion known as “Batrachotoxin.” which is a nerve toxin that can kill 10 humans at once. Batrachotoxin has been used by the local people of South American for their venom-tipped blow darts and arrows to hunt their prey. These tiny cuties actually pose a pretty significant threat. If you accidentally touch it, then you will feel severe nausea, swelling, and muscular paralysis; all of which can lead you to the death. When these adorable frogs feel threatened or agitated, the toxins are released through all of the pores and canals of its skin. Batrachotoxin itself was discovered by Fritz Märki and Bernhard Witkop in the USA. It is 200 times more potent than morphine, and amazingly, 1000 times more toxic than cyanide. The lethal dose, or LD50, is just 136 micron-grams for an adult with an average weight of 68kg, or 150 lbs. That means the equivalent of two grains of table salt is enough to kill you. Let’s talk about how it works. Batrachotoxin simply interferes with sodium ion channels, causing the depolarization of nerves and muscles. This interference jams them open to promote the continuous migration of sodium-ions in an irreversible direction. As a result it causes heart-failure and death. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMAGE CREDIT : John P Clare : flickr.com/photos/johnclare/31647336532 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This content is made for Audiences Of Following Countries.
