I am writing a paper on lethal injection and I'm talking about the final toxin, potassium chloride, and I can't decide what to call it. I've called it a toxin everywhere else in my paper, so I'm looking for a change. I read that a venom is a toxin that is put directly into a person's blood stream, but when I wrote "the venom" it looked wrong, but I don't know if poison is scientifically correct either. Can someone tell me what to call it? If you have an idea other than venom or poison, I would love to hear that, too. Thank you all so much!!!!
