A brand-new type of botox has been discovered that’s being called “the deadliest substance known to man,” but scientists are keeping secret its DNA sequence because an antidote is not yet known.The botulinum toxin, known as Clostridium Botulinum, is so poisonous that injecting just 2 billionths of a gram, or inhaling 13 billionths of a gram, will kill an adult.New Scientist reports: “The toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical secreted by nerves that makes muscles work. People who accidentally ingest it, as can happen when the bacteria grow in food, develop botulism and often die of paralysis.”

This reportedly included the U.S. Army’s infectious diseases laboratory, the Department of Homeland Security, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other government health agencies.
“This toxin has unusual risks and consequences for human health,” says David Relman, a microbiologist at Stanford University, noting that if the new strain were intentionally misused, there would be no defense.”
He said releasing the DNA sequence would have posed “an immediate and unusually serious risk to society.”
“I want to applaud the authors for acting in a way that I think was responsible and prudent,” he added.
