Natural mechanism for getting rid of cyanide involves rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals. It combines cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate.

Other antidotes include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system.
