Affiliation:
Found most often in the Outer Rim but may be employed by anyone.
Name:
Mycotoxin
Type:
Hemotoxin
Size:
Carried in vials of various sizes. Darts can be dipped into the solution. Coating melee weapons with the substance is ill advisable due to it's lethality.
Composition:
Kytrogorgia or "cerulian slime mold" is the primary component in the toxin. However, the mold turns to a slippery jelly-like substance once it is removed from it's food source, making it difficult to handle. To combat this, the poison is typically combined with a viscous liquid to keep it from dripping unto would-be assassins hands when applying it to darts.

Description: Mycotoxin is commonly used against mammalian species as it's properties attack the red blood cells of these creatures. It is difficult to use in food or drink due to it's bitter taste. Reptilian species are immune to it's effects, making it a favorite among trandoshan hunters. Once the toxin enters the system of a mammal, the mold begins to latch on to blood vessels. Death may take hours, and is usually caused by pulmonary edema, the process of the lungs filling with fluid. Within minutes, a victim will become dizzy, their mouth filling with excess saliva. After an hour or more they will begin to choke and foam at the mouth before finally succumbing to the poison's deadly effects. Several days after death occurs, mold will begin to grow on the victim's body. Due to it's slow acting time, mycotoxin is typically used in assassinations rather than combat.
Known Antidotes:
An injectable anti-fungal solution is the only known cure, and must be administered within three hours of mycotoxin entering the bloodstream.
Ingestible anti-fungal medications have also been known to work in rarer instances, or at least slow the toxin's effects.[/beebox3]
