That is why many of us are speculating about the compound. Looks like someone studied up on accelerating whatever compound(s) utilized. Some things by themselves are relatively low in toxicity. Mix two or three in different foods, and it could be fast acting and horrific. It is a big story. Unless one believes that our people are not a target as well.
Warfarin apparently tastes like vanilla. So, I can see where it could be in food without raising the victim's suspicion. But, I would think that it would have to be in large quantities, and I'm not sure it could act that quickly.
Luckily, I do not touch vanilla, mexican or otherwise. Even among ice cream flavors, it is among my least favored, and has been for years. Something else will get me, but not mexican vanilla.
Yep. And the next ones will be larger, and more lethal. You know that they did several test runs, likely on innocent civilians.
bite me!
DMSO will carry stuff throughout the body, but that stuff tastes like oysters. Immediately you get this taste in your mouth.
But if they served oysters.....
I take Coumadin for a blood clotting condition and I find it very hard to believe that this is the culprit. When you first start on the regiment, you have to take shots in the stomach along with the pill form for over a week. The shot is the instant acting and the pill is the slow acting. Once the pill catches up and can keep the blood at the thinness required for your condition, then you can stop the shots. If they stood up and collapsed with bleeding, etc., it must be something more potent.
"Some of the policemen began bleeding from the ears and nose after the meal, "
PING
' can you juice Coumadin up to make it faster acting? "
I don't know. It still has to be metabolized after ingestion , so there would still be the time factor.
Coumadin overdoses usually start bleeding in the brain or intestine or after injuring themselves.
The spontaneous hemorrhaging is what you might see with a huge heparin overdose-but, that's given by injection.
Unless a terrorist chemist has found a way to weaponize heparin...
Let's use the Al Qaeda prisoners as food testers.
I've been reading medical texts. I just can't find anything that indicates that overdoses of warfarin can result in sudden onset of serious bleeding.
Has anyone ever been known to weaponize heparin?
More potent is the assumption here.
Uh - what was my diagnosis?
Not normal food poisoning like e coli or salmonella. Literal poison in the food. You don't bleed through your ears 15 minutes after a meal with those.
Yeah, I know ive never eaten anything so bad my ears bled.
" If it wern't for them this war would have been over by now. They the DEMOCRATS and the MSM are responsible for all this bs."

I agree. They were forcing us to try to fight a PC war, instead of wiping out all the badguys the first month, they were the ones who keep encouraging the terrorists, giving them hope, that if they just hang in there, the Dems will force us to withdraw from Iraq.
