Heh. That's interesting to me also for the fact that they are a member of the tomato-family and deadly poisonous. I read a true tale once about a fellow who went around America in the early years, eating tomatoes to convince people that they were safe to imbibe. I see from this that there may have been some precedent for folks to believe that they might get sick from it.
Actually, Rick, Tomatoes are poisonous. But they are only poisonous in the leaves and stem leading up to the fruit. A very potent poison can be made from it.

Speaking of poisons, assuming that after I died I was reincarnated as a little human girl whose mother died during childbirth and whose father became alcoholic from the grief and then severally abusive? Now assume I could conceal the fact that I took out a $3,000,000 life insurance policy on him that didn't require his signature. The question basically is (and forgive me if this sounds dark) what poison would work the best and be the least detectable (assuming the technology doesn't change much) to kill daddy dearest with by putting it in his wine glass?
Anti-freeze. Once it enters the blood it can't leave and once enough has entered it's deadly poisonous. So it all comes down to how much you want to place in said wine glass at a time, about a half syringe or so per glass should have him sickly and then dead in about a year or so. Hypotheticaly speaking of course.
What good is that insurance money when you're in jail?
Rox_My_Sox: Use arsenic. Odorless, tasteless, and quickly degradable. Unable to be traced in autopsies.
I did not give you this idea, by the way!
remind me never to make Rox angry 😉
LOL. No worries Queenbee. I'm not a murderer. I was just curious because sometimes I dream about being a little girl and being beaten by a father I never had (when in actuality my real life father is very loving, caring, and a honorable man). ^_^

Don't forget the old lace!
Actually, unless they are specifically looking for anti-freeze it can't be detected by normal blood tests that are performed after a person dies. So aslong as the person is slowly poisoned with minimal amounts, and then dies in what would be considered a "natural" way. Then the chance of them finding it is almost non existant :stickout

Twenty minutes in the box!

That may be true. If there's even a hint of foul play, the body will have a battery of tests done on it. Unfortunately, antifreeze and arsenic poisoning can be detected; as arsenic poisoning was extremely common in the late 19th century.
Bad use of a 1940's pun! Twenty minutes in the box!
