Strange Things You've Had to Research for Your Writing

they look like little snails! :laughing:

Cyanide is metabolized from it, 13-15 to kill an adult.

Due to this, an extract (who is deliberately eating 13 items?) poisoning that takes time to “travel through the body” that “acupuncture can deter” is relatively plausible.

Cashews (and mango skins?) have “poison ivy” toxins (or close). I’m partially immune.

But someone could possibly make me bleed out if they chroncally dosed me with high amounts of coriander and cilantro…and you could burn the heck out of someone with pineapple enzymes.

I forgot about that! I had a friend in college who was an exchange student from France and she met this exchange student from Germany at our school in NY - so they were happy when they went back and were literally like a train ride away from one another, haha.

That’s so cool! But yeah, pretty much! I was on a summer school in the south of Germany way back and we went on a day trip to France, haha. It wasn’t a long ride. And I checked just now, there’s no large body of water but there is the Rhine River!

You got it :wink: Main deck, poop deck, starboard…I was mainly looking to find where exactly starboard is and if they even used that term in the 1850s in America or England.
