Chris is lazy so here's a free toxin review article roundup

I'm so not feeling the whole let's read a couple of papers and write a sweet-ass blog post vibe this evening, so instead I've decided to compile a list of comprehensive, well written, and most importantly, free review articles covering different sorts of toxins (poisons produced by living things). Think of it as if I've expertly written a whole crapload of posts, while avoiding any attempts at wit or humorous digression, and then lumped them together according to type into nice looking articles.
