Welcome !

  Hello and welcome to my blog! Let me share with you my personal journey in collecting and understanding some of the most poisonous living-beings known to humans. Most are them are plants, and to a lesser extent animals of the tropical rainforest. Here in Malaysia (zone 13+), Mother Nature has given us the biggest and oldest laboratory to explore. Gloriosa superba . A glorious and superb start to our journey! Spigelia anthelmia I have a background in academia working on phytochemistry and drug discovery. It has a lot to do with my hobby of studying things most people would shun or run away from. Here from a safe distance, let me show you a new perspective to the plants and animals that can kill you in mind-blowing ways. There is great beauty here, and great potential too because what can kill can often cure. Humans have always been fascinated by nature’s ability to kill. In our quest to hunt for more and more poisons, we have inadvertently created the chemical and pharmaceutical era.
