Poison traditionally applied to arrow tips (E not I) (6)

I believe the answer is:

curare

(Other definitions for curare that I've seen before include "Poison applied to darts" , "Arrow poison" , "Poison used on darts" , "Paralysing plant poison" , "Poison put on arrows" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
