Answer 1

Answer:

Coniine exposure affects the periphery, blocking neuromuscular transmission onto skeletal and smooth muscles. As little as 0.5–1 g of coniine (about the same weight as a paperclip) is lethal for humans, and symptoms include drowsiness, burning of the mouth and throat, gradual asphyxia, ascending paralysis, and death.
