Botulinus toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic terminal. This is a total blockage of neuronal transmission.
Ricin is a biological toxin that acts by inhibiting protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomes and halting protein production.

Bee stings inject a toxin or venom called apitoxin, which is a bitter colourless liquid. Bee venom causes local inflammation and acts as an anticoagulant. It is not a poison.

Ricin is a biological toxin that is cytotoxic. It is a protein found in the seeds of the castor oil plant and acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in cells, leading to cell death.
a. BotulinumBotulism is a bacterium know as Clostridium botulinum. The toxin acts presynaptically to block the release of acetylcholine and thereby induce paralysis. It is suggested that the toxin might act by the same general mechanism as other bacterial toxins, i.e. after binding to a cell surface receptor, it enters the cell and expresses some type of enzymatic action ultimately leading to the block of neurotransmitter release.A small amount of the botulism toxin is involved in botox, which can be injected into various body parts to prevent/get rid of wrinkles. Injection of botox in essentially the paralysis of bodily tissue.
