      Well there is a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum

      http://www.ecolab.com/PublicHealth/Cbotulinum.asp

      it produces possible the most toxic compound in nature..which some people inject into their faces as botox…absolutely true…we use this deadly poison for cosmetic and some medical purposes.

      What is really weird is no-one can work out why the bacteria makes it…because it does not help the bacteria at all. Us being paralysed ( which is what the toxin does) does not help the bacteria at all…
