Which is the world's most dangerous disease?

The world's most dangerous disease

1). The deadliest disease by far has been for at least 20 million years.

It must have killed Alexander the Great, King Tut and at least six platforms. Some sources claim that about half of all humans who ever lived have been killed by it.

What is the name of this deadly threat? Malaria.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects both humans and other animals. Some mosquitoes carry the protozoa, a parasite of the genus Plasmodium. This is the killer.

Mosquito vectors are carriers. If we see mosquitoes as bombed, then Plasmodium is the bomb.


** Deadly criminal

There are five species of parasites that cause disease. Of these, Plasmodium falciparum is the deadliest. According to the 2018 World Malaria Report, in 2017 there were 219 million cases of malaria. 435,000 infected people died from this number.

Approximately 70% of deaths from malaria occurred in children 5 or younger.


** The good news is that the number of deaths has decreased in recent years.

(2). Top 10 Deadliest Poisons

1. Polonium

Discovered in 1898, the radioactive element Polonium was the cause of the death of Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian leader and Russian dissident. Polonium is one of the deadliest poisons of the 21st century. It is of no use in biology because it is extremely deadly for all living organisms. Its most common form is polonium 210, which is 250,000 times more deadly than hydrogen cyanide. This explains why Americans employed their toxicity in World War II to call Nagasaki the Manhattan Project Day-Day Project. In theory, one gram of polonium 210 can wipe out 10 million people if ingested, injected or inhaled. If radiation does not kill you, you are likely to get cancer.


2. Botulinum Toxin

It cannot be used to kill naturally occurring venom when it breaks apart but has a crazy toxin level. Actually, it is the deadliest poison known to mankind. One teaspoon of botulinum toxin is enough to kill more than 1 billion humans. For this reason, this weapon is very popular with developers. In fact, it is rumoured that during Sadam's reign, Iraq could contain enough botulinum toxin to decimate the Earth. The toxin is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulin. Its poisonous form is botulism, which can be found in food, but can be killed by heating food above 100 ° C. Surprisingly, Botox is used for medical and cosmetic procedures.

3. Arrow poison frog

There are more than 125 species of small brightly coloured Central and South American Dendrobatidae frogs of their own kind. Initially, they were used by Native Americans for hunting purposes. The arrow's head is covered by the frog's skin with batrachotoxin and becomes a deadly weapon. Although the frog is the size of the tip of your thumb, it has enough venom to kill more than 10 men. The poison can either be a cardiotoxin, which means that it stops the functioning of your heart, which results in immediate death, or a neurotoxin from which an amount equal to two grains salt can kill an adult human.

4. VX
Formally a pesticide, VX is the deadliest nerve gas in the world with no other use except chemical warfare. It is classified as a weapon of mass destruction and has neither taste nor smell. Although VX was banned for use, militants around the world scramble to stockpile this deadly weapon. If a drop of gas comes into contact with the exposed skin, it will cause death. Inhalation will cause symptoms that are flu-like with minimal risk. In severe cases, it can cause paralysis as well as respiratory system failure.

5. Tetrodotoxin

Abbreviated as TTX, Tetrodotoxin is a lethal neurotoxin derived from Tetraodontiformes, which includes the well-known pufferfish. Pufferfish is used to prepare sushi. If you consume poison, it will take innumerable minutes for the symptoms to manifest. Symptoms will appear in quick succession starting with paralysis of the mouth, problems with swallowing then you will experience trouble rendering speech and coordination. After this, you will experience seizures and cramps, then a coma, and eventually death. All this can happen within 17 minutes or a maximum of 6 hours. It places itself on the list of deadliest poisons.

6. Strychnine

Strychnine is an alkaloid that is bitter, colourless, and crystalline and is mostly used as a pesticide to kill small animals. Although it occurs naturally, it also occurs in the laboratory and is fatal. If it enters your body through ingestion, ingestion, or absorption, your muscles will begin to shrink within minutes. Nausea and vomiting will follow soon after. Muscle spasms will cause asphyxia which, in turn, will kill you. Death will occur half an hour after poison ingestion.

7. Cyanide

Most people are familiar with cyanide poisoning. It damages the heart as well as the central nervous system. When small amounts of cyanide come into contact with the blood, it will bind the iron element in the blood, thereby stopping the flow of oxygen into the body. This will cause death in no time because there is no circulation of oxygen in the body. There are many forms of cyanide, but hydrogen cyanide is the most dangerous. It is used in gaseous form as a tool of chemical warfare and is capable of killing in 10 minutes or less. It is manufactured mainly for mining purposes, especially mining of silver and gold. However, since World War I, it has often been used for murder and suicide.

8. Sarin

Sarin is yet another tool of mass destruction that deserves its place in the list of deadliest poisons. It is a deadly nerve gas that can kill in 1 to 10 minutes even when released in very low concentrations. The first symptoms you experience after taking out the gas are a runny nose and chest ti

lightness. This causes difficulty in breathing, which causes your body to shut down. When it was discovered in 1938, the German who discovered it, Wuppertal-Elberfeld, intended to develop a strong insecticide but became highly toxic. The formula was later passed on to the German Army Weapons Office, and they produced it as a weapon.

9. Amotoxin

This poison occurs naturally in many types of poisonous mushrooms. You can ingest, absorb, or absorb amatoxin from mushrooms. If the toxin makes it into your body, it will first attack the kidneys and liver. As a result, you will go into a coma that you are unlikely to overcome. You will die after a few days. Other symptoms of exposure to the toxin include cough, insomnia and shortness of breath, headache and dizziness.

10. Ricin

Ricin is a naturally occurring poison extracted from castor oil seeds. Some salt-shaped grains of pure rasin can cause death. It can get into your system by inhalation, ingestion, and injection - it is least fatal through ingestion. It works by inhibiting the body's ability to make proteins by preventing cells from collecting essential amino acids. As a result, the body goes into shock, and you die.
