OT: Death by caffeine

[Mr.Binx]

I was reading the Caffeine FAQ (http://coffeefaq.com/caffaq.html#WhatHappens) and noticed that they report "The minimum lethal dose ever reported was 3.2 grams intravenously"...! How the $#@! did they find this out?! :eek: <*CRiNGe*>

[Laughing Cow]

I guess they estimated it from other test results.

someone told me once that you could soak the tobacco from one
pack of cigarettes in just enough water to saturate them and then
squeeze them out and the nicotene level would be high enough
to kill intraveniously.

I guess you could reduce it (cooking term) and it would be just
totally deadly.
