On the left is a drawing of someone from a famous strychnine poisoning in Australia. You can see how the victim is in spasm, and not just his arms, but his legs. And I put the comparson of Kennedy, whose arms are in spasm. It was due to the nerve agent, and perhaps it was strychnine. I don't claim to know which one it was. But, that's how most of them work: destroying cholinesterase, which is the neurotransmitter that turns off muscle contractions.
