Spoiler type question Re: The needle

It's been years since I've seen this movie, but I was thinking about it today. I watched it with my mother, but neither of us could figure out what the poison was in the needle Cort set up to kill Joanna. What was in it?

"Close" only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades.

It was the fish poison that they used to "kill" Clint. He extracted it from another of his fishes before leaving to go to Joanna's house so he could kill her and keep the 1.5 million dollars for himself.

The poison was likely to have been Tetrodotoxin, extracted from the organs of the Japanese Pufferfish or Fugu.
