Discussion What a strange substance SN is...

[MeltingHeart]

Not sure if this should be in Off Topic instead but just was thinking how strange it is that SN is a substance that can kill you-yet is found in many food products (not the kind that ive ever eaten mind you) but you can see why shit food-processed meats etc can be a contributing factor in causing cancer and yet also at the same time it is also an antidote to cyanide poisoning-so could save someones life too-anyway thats all-just thought it was weird

Yeah, it is pretty weird. I'm just glad it exists though!

Apricots are tasty, yet they contain cyanide.

Whose quote was it anyway: "Everything is poison in large enough quantities", or something like that?
