There was a local court case here maybe 3 years ago of a woman who was
charged with attempted murder of another women, and she attempted to poison
here by serving an alcolholic cocktail with some sort of photo chemistry
mixed in it. The intended victim apparently tasted soemthing "funny", and
although this was all takign place in a public tavern, became suspicous,
saved the drink, phoned police, etc, etc.
I forget the chemical in question, or even if it was that toxic (the
"murderer" was looking for a quick, Hollywood movie style death), but it is
interesting to note that even members of the gernal public with liitle to
no knowledge of photography are aware of the dangers of photo chemistry,
albiet even in a sinister light.
