| Feb 14, 2018 at 7:50 | comment | added | gunfulker | At first glance I assumed you meant toxins from pollution. Like harvesting toxins from animals killed by that pollution, possibly a toxin that caused or was caused by the apocalypse. Maybe animals killed by this have the toxin build up in some organ. This way the prey animals consume the toxin, the predators consume the prey, and the top predator dies from the toxin after a lot of buildup. After a clever assassin harvests it from several large predators, they have enough to deliver a one-shot lethal dose. I know it doesn't fit your parameters and is incomplete, that's why it's a comment. | |

| Feb 14, 2018 at 0:30 | comment | added | user47547 | @HansZ Probably not, as the intended purpose is deliverable doses, which he can use without having to go through the extraction process | |
| Feb 14, 2018 at 0:27 | comment | added | Hans Z | @Aethernolt "Large quantities means that the character will be able to have upwards of 20 lethal doses on hand" does this mean a person of reasonable special skills/means would be able to get this toxin but not an average person? i.e. if someone had a rattle snake in the trunk of his car and he knew how to milk it, would that suffice? | |

| Feb 14, 2018 at 0:23 | comment | added | user47547 | @Mołot I've clarified some about my definition of chemical, method of injection, and period of time | |

| Feb 14, 2018 at 0:16 | comment | added | user47547 | @JakobLovern Yes, your assumption is right. I'll add a clarification region. | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 23:47 | comment | added | Mołot | @JakobLovern I strongly prefer OP to write in a way that does not require anyone to assume. You are probably right. Probably. What if you will answer based on that assumption, and then OP will clarify it to mean something else? You wouldn't be happy about it, right? | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 23:42 | comment | added | Jakob Lovern | @mołot By 'no chemicals', I assume the OP is looking for poisons that can be used without needing lab synthesis/distillation. | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 23:41 | comment | added | Jakob Lovern | There's all sorts of powerful venoms you can squeeze from animals. Snakes come to mind as the most common, but there's also blowfish, poison dart frogs, bees, etc. | |

| Feb 13, 2018 at 23:21 | comment | added | Mołot | "I'd also like to know if there are any other substances that would work better for my purposes." - Unanswerable, because we do not know your purposes. Do you want to deliver it in food? Skin contact? On an arrow? How soon is soon? "Not use any chemicals" - substances you listed are chemical substances, as pretty much everything in toxicology is. | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 23:21 | comment | added | user535733 | How much is "large quantities"? | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 23:18 | comment | added | user47547 | If i need to clarify or add tags, please tell me, as I have no idea what tags this should go under. | |
