Ok so i am new to this yahoo.com/…/really-build-immunity-iocane-powder-1…

DOES SOMETHING LIKE IOCANE EXIST? As previously noted, iocane is a made-up poison, invented for the story.

Like iocane, arsenic doesn’t have a taste or an odor, and it can be dissolved in liquid.

The major difference between arsenic and iocane powder — and it is admittedly a big difference — is that arsenic doesn’t kill immediately.

When it comes to arsenic, our real-world allegory of iocane powder, it doesn’t appear as though you can build up a tolerance through increasing low-level exposure.

A community located in a village in the Andes appears to have adapted a genetic tolerance to arsenic over the course of thousands of years
