Horrifying Story
 

This happened about 15 miles away from where we live. This is one of the most horrifying things I have read lately.

I did not understand what the problem was. What made this such an overwhelming ordeal?

That the man was so depressed he poisoned himself in that horrible way.

The Bayer representatives told him that four-tenths of a milligram would kill a 200-pound man in 30 minutes. An eyedropper full would kill a rhinoceros. It is activated with water and moisture.

The scary part is like he said, who knows how much of this stuff is still sitting in old barns around the state and forgotten about. Kids love old barns.

At least I always did.

I failed to see why the hazmat team was called out, and the issue of the quarantine. I do agree that it is horrible that he chose to die via poison, but it was the rest of the article that had me confused.

Yep, and our sheds. The grandkids don't understand why we keep them out of our sheds. And I know some people still put stuff in old glass bottles, milk jugs, etc.

Any even scarier scenario is this stuff in the hands of a terrorist and them putting a large amount in a drinking water reservoir or the like.

He vomited in the ambulance and it got on the Paramedics and inside the ER.

I still think that I am missing something to this story. Everyone seemed to be more concerned about the hazardous material getting around, but they never actually explained why it was so bad that they had trouble getting an autopsy done on him. This article was nothing short of painfully confusing after you figure out that the man died of a self-inflicted poisoning.
