Strychnine is a natural poison that is found in nature that is mostly derived from the seeds of the Strychnos nux-vomica tree. It's a neurotoxin that causes patients to contort and convulse by acting on spinal nerves. It's a poison for gophers and rats that's available on the market. It's unsafe to use, just like Brodifacoum, because it can harm infants, pets, and other accidental victims.

White phosphorus is extremely poisonous to humans. The first stage of acute oral exposure to elevated levels of white phosphorus in humans is marked by gastrointestinal symptoms; the second stage is symptom-free; and the third stage is characterized by a rapid deterioration in condition with gastrointestinal effects, as well as serious effects on the kidneys, liver, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system. Humans have experienced respiratory tract inflammation and coughing as a result of inhalating the phosphorus. Chronic exposure to white phosphorus in humans results in necrosis of the jaw, termed "phossy jaw."
