Just remember, arsnic is a natural ingredient.
So's arsenic.
I'm slugging back lots of Poland Springs. I think it's got a high calcium content, cuz my bones are creaking. Oooops - might be old age!

Nature produces far better toxins than *that* -- think atropine, to cite but one example.
Of course it is -- it's an essential element (for humans).
Quite unlike most plant toxins (those aren't elements at all, and many are definitely not needed in human metabolism).

OK, we have the arsenic, now where does the old lace come in?
I ain't wearin it, so don't ask.

Sick all weekend...
On Saturday, Pignon Pontarlier followed by Lyonnaise Pignon. It worked almost as good as Nyquil.
Tonight, I'm thinking maybe Liefmans Goudenband.

I have toooo many choices tonight!
Seven bottle order from FSC, including Kubler 57 (2 50 cl), the rather purple Tunel Black (I had to try it), BEETLEJUICE 65, Deva 70, mandrake liqueur, sage liqueur.
Regular mail (not courier).
Ordered 4/27, shipped 4/30, received 5/10.
HOLY MACARONI!!! They done got the lead out!

Hey Trainer,
Lemme know what you think of the two weird liquors. So far, I've heard one "pretty good" for the mandrake, and a palpable silence on the sage. So do your guinea pig duties and report back to us, okay?

I hafta finish my glass of K57 first.
The Black Tunnel is goin to the sink, methinks.

OK, I'm on the sage liqueur now.
Looks like a brandy. 18.5% ABV, so I'll be trying it neat.
Oh, yeah. Corked bottle. No regular label, just a little glossy-card-stock folded thing on a string, attached with a gob of red sealing wax (or chewing gum) with an S in it.
Name is "Salvia."
From what I can smell (I'm allergy-stuffy), it smells kinda . . . musty. A bit chemical-ish, too.
Taste . . . Musty, minty, sickeningly sweet.
Think some sort of sugary cough syrup with mildew in it.
It might make a good mixer, but it ain't anything I want to drink straight. Lemme try with club soda.

OK, back with club soda and ice in it.
Interesting.
Not so mildewy, though there's a slight undercurrent of that still. (1:1)
It's drinkable like this, kinda like root beer with a few spores on the side of the can.
I take that back. I think I'm growing penicillin in my sinuses. Pardon me whilst I sinkify this stuff.

OK, with a label that says:
. . . which Systran tells me means:
it can't be all bad. Maybe I'll finally Trip Balz™ for once. At least, at 45% ABV, it should kill the mildew growing in my sinuses. I hope.
Tasted neat, the liquor is mighty sweet. Mighty alcoholic, too. The alcohol content ain't hiding behind nuthin!
With ice and about 2:1 club soda'd, it tastes like a rather sweet scotch & soda.
Pleasant. Not worth spending a lot of money on, but pleasant. It'll go down the hatch, not down the drain like the Mildew Liqueur. I bet, using the Pseudosinthe™ method, I could make a better sage liqueur than that stuff.
Say, would anyone like to trade a barely-sampled bottle of sage liqueur for something else . . . Hill's, maybe? Logan Filth? Anyone? Anything?

Given what I know about some metabolic pathways in humans, I think arsenic is probably an essential element for penguins, too. If my memory serves me right, even C. Elegans needs catalysts with arsenic as an element in some of the reactions in its metabolic pathways.
QUOTE(TrainerAZ @ May 11 2004, 07:37 AM)

OK. I'm going for the Bucky award on this one...
Of course not. It contains atropine, which historically has had many uses [one of which was to dilute the pupils of women to make them more "beautiful", which gave "Atropa belladonna" its name. Never mind that the women couldn't see jack xit in a lighted room, but...].
QUOTE
Atropine is the best-known member of a group of drugs known as muscarinic antagonists, which are competitive antagonists of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors.
This naturally occurring tertiary amine was first isolated from the Atropa belladonna plant by Mein in 1831 (Weiner, 1985).
Although atropine earlier enjoyed widespread use in the treatment of peptic ulcer, today it is mostly used in resuscitation, anaesthesia, and ophthalmology, usually as the more soluble sulphate salt.
By competitively blocking the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors, atropine may act as a specific antidote. As such, it may also be used to counteract adverse parasympathomimetic effects of pilocarpine, or neostigmine administered in myasthenia gravis.
It is a specific antidote for the treatment of poisoning with organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides and organophosphorus nerve agents.
Atropine is also useful in treating muscarine poisoning following ingestion of fungi of the Clitocybe and Inocybe species.

A few words of warning, though -- note the "if":
QUOTE
If the dose of atropine is titrated correctly, it has few serious side effects when used in organophosphate poisoning. Patients who are hypoxic, however, are at risk of developing ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation if given atropine. It is important, therefore, to correct hypoxia by clearing airways, administering oxygen and, if necessary, mechanically ventilating the patient before giving atropine (Hase et al., 1984; Matthew & Lawson, 1970; Heath & Meredith, 1992).
As for solubility:
One gram is soluble in 2.5ml alcohol at 60°C.
So unless the atropine is all bound as an atropine sulphate monohydrate (which is extremely soluble in water), it will end up in a distillate.

The berries are dangerous, but not as dangerous as those of poison hemlock -- these are indeed so sweet some children may be tricked into eating them all...

Many years ago, (while in the NAVY) we had "Atropine Injectors" that were to be issued at certain times to be used ("IN CASE OF EMERGENCY ONLY") in the event that we were exposed to nerve poison.
We were forewarned that it has serious side effects including death, but so did exposure to the nerve agents. And, we would be better off taking our chances with the Atropine than the nerve agents.

Same with the Army. We carried them around in our left chest pocket, with instructions to inject them directly into our chest.
