Thiabendazole (Mintezol, TBZ)

Hey there. Let me break it down for you, nice and easy like:

KILLS

• fungi (molds and spots and rots and blights) that spoil fruits and vegetables
• messes up cell division, protein synthesis, and cellular respiration
• sprayed on crops and used as a food preservative
• parasitic worms that cause disease in livestock and humans
• human diseases it is used to treat include strongyloidiasis, cutaneous larva migrans (aka creeping eruption...totally icky), visceral larva migrans (aka toxocariasis), and trichinellosis
• messes up cellular respiration (citric acid cycle) by inhibiting some enzyme
  

SAVES

• people poisoned with metals (lead, mercury, antimony)
• it is a chelating agent that can bind said metals and facilitate their excretion from the body, thus limiting their toxicity
