I remember reading that in Sydney Australia in the early 20th C, there was a big rat plague and thallium was handed out to kill the rats. Apparently many men who were dead-beat husbands started getting sick and died, too.

2023-03-11 20:09:38 +0000 UTCThis is such a fascinating case. I finally figured out which case this was right before the plot jumped over to the Mensa meeting and I was so excited! An excellent telling as always. Poisoning cases are always so interesting, and thallium cases especially are always among the wildest!
