The Most Toxic Chemical You've Handled

[Johnny Impact]

Mind if I ask what you do for a living? (Or was that all chem student stuff?)

Heavy cleanser = at work, our floors get ground-in dirt and crud the likes of which the moms in household cleanser commercials can't imagine
Liquid nitrogen, mercury, sulfuric acid = science class
Insecticide = home maintenance, I have several hundred wasps in my crawlspace
Thermal-conductive gel = I build my own computers and sometimes other people's
Superglue and primer = I play Warmachine

tox·in   /ˈtɒksɪn/ Show Spelled
[tok-sin] Show IPA

?noun
any poison produced by an organism, characterized by antigenicity in certain animals and high molecular weight, and including the bacterial toxins that are the causative agents of tetanus, diphtheria, etc., and such plant and animal toxins as ricin and snake venom.

I know it's nitpicky for me to do this, but since this is a sciencey sort of question, I thought that it might be a good idea for the question to be worded in a more accurate way, and "toxic" isn't really the best choice here.

You gave the definition of `toxin'. Not `toxic'. Toxic is just another word for poisonous.

tox·ic   /ˈtɒksɪk/ Show Spelled
[tok-sik] Show IPA

?adjective
1. of, pertaining to, affected with, or caused by a toxin or poison: a toxic condition.
Since toxic just redirected me to toxin, I thought that just putting that it would be less confusing because this definition is really useless without the definition of toxin.

Note the `or poison'.
