Spiders are bad m'kay? by FireballMatt2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Aren't neurotoxins wonderful? by subbywan2003-07-11 08:00:10
    It isn't a neurotoxin by BloodyViking2006-11-19 12:55:59
      Well, I should have clarified ... by subbywan2003-07-11 08:21:07
        Nope. It's not a neurotoxin. by BloodyViking2003-07-11 08:26:51
          What's wrong with that? by subbywan2003-07-11 08:40:21
            Dictionary.com seems to be a bit more by Naruki 2003-07-11 08:44:37
strict than CancerWeb:

Dictionary.com: "A toxin that damages or destroys nerve tissue"

versus

CancerWeb: "A substance, often exquisitely toxic, that inhibits neuronal function. Neurotoxins act typically against the sodium channel (e.g. TTX) or block or enhance synaptic transmission (curare, bungarotoxin)"

The first seems to require damage, not just "affecting". Dunno what medical types say about it, though.
