Canned Meats and Capulets [Ep.115]

This week Macie talks about The Chicago Tylenol murders, a series of poisoning deaths resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago area in 1982. The victims had all taken Tylenol capsules that had been laced with potassium cyanide. A total of seven people died in the original poisonings, and several more deaths came from copycat crimes. This crime is currently unsolved. Then Naomi dives into botulism following her foray into canning and subsequent fear of unintentionally killing people. Botulism is a rare and potentially fatal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Beware of the canned meat.
