      • Entering the cells' mitochondria (energy producers), cyanide displaces oxygen bonded to proteins. Those proteins, cytochrome, cannot perform its normal function of producing energy using oxygen. Without that energy production, the cells throughout the body die, resulting in the person's death.

    Aug 5, 2021 · In contrast to bacteria and plants, for mammalian cells, cyanide is usually viewed as an environmental toxin and a poison. (In fact, the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who first isolated hydrogen cyanide, has reportedly died from the adverse health effects of cyanide poisoning in 1786).
