And have a QI for the uses of Botulinum.

Ekii,
Your instincts serve you well... listen to them next time. 
Jellyfish.

The Box Jellyfish is almost certainly one of the most toxic if not also one of the most profligate killers , and although found in the waters around Austrailia - it is yet another venomous creature and not really poisonous.
