A very pathetic act of terrorism, to be sure. It would have been so diluted as to be meaningless. And besides, you can, and certain religious sects do, drink strychnine........

When I was a kid, we used strychnine to poison the skunks that were raiding our hen house. He told us the stuff was used by some as an aphrodisiac, but that the dose for that use was also very close to the deadly dose, based on body weight, and to be REALLY careful in handling it...

We injected it into specially marked eggs. Had to wash down all the hens, and the hen house, as the poor skunk apparently spasmed pretty bad, spraying everything in the area when the stuff go to him.
