Cyanide kills so fast by binding irreversibly to cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in the electron transport chain in mitochondria.

Symptoms of acute cyanide poisoning include loss of consciousness, seizures, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest within minutes at high doses. Chronic exposure can lead to increased blood cyanide levels and permanent paralysis over time due to energy
