Answer 1

He does not know that they have used curare on these darts, which is a very poisonous nicotic acetylcholine blocking poison.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Curare is a poison which works through its qualities as a non-depolarizing agent of relaxing the muscles.
• It blocks the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor which is one of the two receptors that are located at the neuromuscular junction.
• If curare is introduced into the body in large doses, then the result is a fatal death out of respiratory paralysis.
