A single poison dart frog carries enough poison to kill 10 adult humans. ☠️
Some of the most poisonous animals in the world are small, colorful frogs called poison dart frogs, in the family Dendrobatidae, which live in the rainforests of Central and South America. A single frog carries enough poison to kill 10 adult humans. Interestingly, these frogs aren't born poisonous — they acquire their poisonous chemical by eating insects and other arthropods.
"We need these channels to open and close to generate electricity that runs our brain or heart muscles," Abderemane-Ali said. If the channels just stay open,"there is no cardiac activity, there is no neuronal activity or contractive activity."So how do these frogs, and other poisonous animals, avoid suffering the same fate? There are three strategies poisonous animals use to stop autointoxication, Abderemane-Ali said.
In Adberemane-Ali's study, he cloned sodium-ion channels from Phyllobates frogs and treated them with the toxin. He was surprised to see that the sodium-ion channels were not resistant to the toxin.
