  • Huaorani Indian, Kempere Tega making Curare tipped darts. Curare is one of the most toxic poisons known to man and is made from a liana. The poison is boiled on the fire. The dart tips are dipped into the poison which hardens into a shiny, lacquer-like coating. They are then ready for the hunt. A small tuft of kapok fluff is plied into a cuff at the blunt end of the dart so as to seal the blowgun airtight. A sharp piranha tooth is used to cut a barb into the dart about 10 cm from the tip so that it will break if the victim tries to remove the dart before the poison takes effect. <br />
