Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are consistent with curare poisoning, which causes muscle paralysis leading to difficulty in talking and swallowing, eventually leading to asphyxiation. The other options do not match the symptoms described. Hemlock and milkweed juice cause respiratory failure, but do not necessarily affect the muscles in the same way curare does. Strychnine causes muscle spasms and convulsions, while usnic acid causes liver damage.
