      Oooh I don’t know. There’s quite a lot of chemicals that can kill us if we get them in the right does.

      Curare is a group of chemicals that used to be used by South American tribes to tip their poisoned arrows. They kill by paralysing the muscles in our chest so that we can’t breathe. That’s a really nast way to die don’t you think?!
