Venom, e.g. (5)

I believe the answer is:

toxin

(Other definitions for toxin that I've seen before include "Poison of organic origin" , "Poisonous substance" , "Poison, venom" , "Natural poison" , "Form of poison" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate and the New York Times.
