If you're contemplating an exodus to another platform - *cough* Bluesky *cough* - you can find me there under the same name and handle. I've been absent here the last 2 years, but I've missed it and will be more active over there. So come on over, the water is warm!.

That was me; rumors of my death have been grossly exaggerated. I'm sorry, everyone, for falling off the map. It's hard to keep going, but seeing you both reminds me that I must keep trying.
@forensictoxguy I think I saw @NaturesPoisons, but I mightβve imagined it.

So this is hell.
OK, you can only write with ONE type of pen for the rest of your life, which one are you picking? (ignoring the ink color)

Happy Holidays, and a retweet of Santa's favorite poison (aside from arsenic in the eggnog, of course π). mistletoe!.
The winter holidays are upon us and the creepiest tradition lurks: Kissing under the mistletoe. First, y'all aren't just kissing a parasite, you're kissing *under* a parasite. Now you're curious and want to know how this relates to poisons. Well, as the cool kids say, thread.

Every toxicologist, medical and forensic, would love to see these "studies." Of course, we'll be waiting a long time because they don't exist. and no police officer has EVER overdosed from a fentanyl "exposure.".
Studies show that fentanyl can be used as a weapon of mass destructionβ¦Just look at what a very small amount did to one Florida police officer. It's time to take action, @JoeBidenβdeclare fentanyl a WMD and fight to end this terrible crisis.

I found a dollar on the ground and picked it up - and SHOCKING - I didn't have a fentanyl overdose. Maybe I did it wrong π€ #WTFentanyl

"A gust of wind may have blown some of the drugs toward her. ".They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel to explain something that clearly didn't, and couldn't, happen. No one else affected, no tox results, just perpetuating a dangerous myth π€¬
foxnews.com
A Florida police officer was making a traffic stop when she was accidentally exposed to suspected fentanyl, causing a potential overdose that was reversed by Narcan.

People that speed shouldn't have seat belts, and if they crash, shouldn't get lifesaving medical attention. OUTRAGEOUS, RIGHT? .This is the same sentiment of the anti-naloxone crowd; that drug users aren't worth saving because they'll keep using. Like drivers will stop speeding?.
