Which means it is almost 2000 times as potent as Roundup for killing rats.

Table salt is only twice as deadly as Roundup. Its LD-50 is 3,000 mg/kg.

I had a colleague who tested his clams for red tide by first feeding a few to his cats. If the cats didn't die, he ate the clams himself.

There is a place in Alaska called Poison Cove. It got its name because 300 Aleuts fleeing the Russians at Sitka stopped there on their way back home. They ate clams that had paralytic shellfish poison (Red Tide), and died.
