A new book, “A Taste for Poison”, out now, by scientist and biophysics professor Neil Bradbury, outlines 11 poisons, how they work, and some of the most notorious criminals who deployed them.
You have about the same chance of becoming shark food as being offed with poison — yet we continue to be fascinated with murderous molecules and the people who wield them.
Treatment is possible . It should be noted that arsenic exists in the Earth’s crust, and sometimes makes its way into our groundwater . We even injected our chickens with arsenic to make them appear plumper and pinker until the practice ended in 2013, thanks to evidence that even tiny amounts of arsenic can cause cancer and other health problems.Bradbury refers to cyanide as “notorious” thanks to its starring role in spy thrillers. It was also the grisly method of murder in German death camps.
“Strychnine tortures its victims by racking their body with excruciating spasms, before allowing death to rescue them from an earthly hell,” writes Bradbury.
