There are numerous neurotoxic compounds that act on pre synaptic nerves, and I have not seen a single one that wasn't lethal in absolutely tiny amounts.

How do I contact you? You are the hand of god of knowledge. I’m finally finding someone I can have a clinical conversation with! I’m in los Angeles and I’ve been dismissed and humiliated and refused any examination of my symptoms which have been at best diagnosed as psychiatric delusions or drug induced hallucinations. I’ve been exposed to mold band pests after a facelift while undergoing taltz for psoriasis. It created a perfect storm. I’m still not able to get to an infectious disease professional because I can’t get past the diagnosis of mental health issues or drugs related hallucinations.
V.informative thanks alot
great video !!

I just pulled a rice cooker out of storage. There is no food in it but there apears to be a film of strch in the pot. Would a deep cleaning be safe or should I throw it away?
