Inconsistency?

The article says both that botox is the most toxic substance known, and also that etorphine is so toxic humans cannot safely ingest it. This would seem to be contradictory.--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 14:08, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Dunno about this instance but it seems to me that there could be 10,000 things so toxic humans cannot safely ingest, of which one could be 'the most toxic substance known'. No? Pippa (talk) 14:49, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

No, I mean botox is said to be the most toxic substance known, and can also be used in small quantities, but some other substance that is less toxic cannot. That seems inconsistent.--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 20:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
