Purpose　The source of earthworm toxin, its ingredients and the methods to take it off were studied.Methods　The irritable secretor was dialyzed, and then examined by UV-Vis spectrum instrument.The proteins was analyzed with electrophoresis. The toxicity was tested in vivo.Results　The proteins of irritable secretor 0.242mg/kg iv cause a mouse to death.Many bands were separated from the proteins with SDS-PAGE， among which two kinds were the principal. Even with different stimulus the secretor of earthworm was identical in ingredients.Conclusion　The results demonstrated that the earthworm proteins of irritable secretion had toxicity and the toxin could be removed from earthworm by adding NaCl or 40V electricity.
