Hydrocyanic acid is one of the most poisonous substances known and is achieved by dissolving cyanide in a strong acid; the inhalation of its fumes in high concentration will cause almost immediate death. Rotenone is used by biologists to kill germs and bacteria in tests and is very poisonous but I dont believe its as poisonous as cyanide although similar. Since the only source for this information seemed to be suicide assist web sites and fatality was rated by probability cyanide was a definite and rotenone was probable. If this is your goal, I plead with you to talk to someone soon. Nothing is as bad as you think it is in your present state of mind.

Can silver potassium cyanide kill you?

Let's clear one thing up first: potassium cyanide is a solid (powder). At room temperature, in its pure form, it can't be drunk.Of course, one can take a tablespoon of potassium cyanide and dissolve it in a glass of water, THEN drink the resulting solution. The result would be a quick DEATH, because there is more than a fatal dose of cyanide in one tablespoon of the compound.The gas chamber, which was used as an execution method by some US states until quite recently, makes use of potassium cyanide. Pellets or powdered potassium cyanide are dropped into a dish filled with sulfuric acid, which is placed underneath the chair of the condemned prisoner. The potassium cyanide quickly reacts with the acid, and releases hydrogen cyanide, which is the gas that poisons and kills the prisoner.Potassium cyanide is a common and useful laboratory chemical, despite its toxicity. As with all laboratory chemicals, it should be used with care and respect.
