Historical Toxicology (OLD TIMEY POISONS) with Deborah Blum

<p>Metal poisons. Odorless ones. Toxic plants. Iocane powder, arsenic, old lace, poisons as self-defense, black mirrors, Aqua Tofanas, movie myths, and the start of testing for that which ails or kills you: we’ve got Historical Toxicology with Pulitzer Prize-winning science author & chemistry connoisseur Deborah Blum. She wrote the beloved “Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York” and takes us through a spooky walk in time, when chemistry was magic and homicide was an easier feat.</p><p>Visit Deborah Blum’s <a href="https://deborahblum.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deborahblum7" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>Buy her <a href="https://deborahblum.com/books/" target="_blank">books</a> including <i>The Poison Squad</i> and <i>The Poisoner’s Handbook</i> on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Deborah-Blum/author/B000AQ3O3E" target="_blank">Amazon</a> or <a href="https://bookshop.org...
