234 | Poisoned
What to Expect:
Don’t poison yourself. Some people do and they do it on purpose, but not to die. In fact, they do it to prevent an early death. This practice is called Mithridatism, named for the legend of Mithridates the King of Pontus who took small doses of poison to prevent assassination attempts. One of our early chemists, Mithridates’ scientific work lives on today. In fact, the theme of Mithridatism is commonplace today in many things that we do.
