so deadly,
we have
watched so many shows about murder and the work of pathologists/coroners, that
we noticed one chemical used in poisoning kept being mention, arsenic, so here
is some, in this form it is called Realgar, α-As4S4, it is an arsenic sulfide
mineral, also known as "ruby sulphur" or "ruby of
arsenic", it may come as
a surprise that arsenic is sometimes found in
common foodstuffs like rice and apple juice, but
back to the path lab, laid out on the slab to have died from
arsenic poisoning you will have started suffering convulsions and
your fingernail pigmentation may change (leukonychia), moving on the following
signs and symptoms are associated in more severe cases of arsenic poisoning,
metallic taste in the mouth
mouth produces excess saliva
problems swallowing
blood in the urine
cramping muscles
loss of hair
stomach cramps
convulsions
excessive sweating
breath smells like garlic
vomiting
diarrhea
all of which sounds like a good Friday night out, but it is the next bit that is the worry, all of this is followed by death, but I still think the realgar crystal looks beautiful.
