PapemelroticPAT In a fictional sense, had me thinking about how Maomao and Shinobu would definitely love discussing/examining these too. Anyway, got carried away rambling about random facts to share AGAIN, darn. T_T XDD Off to bed we go; good night and sweet dreams~❤️🫂💙 05:48 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... very long way since the Marsh test in aiding/balancing the scales of justice. And in the possible future developments to surely come, will be listening and learning still with, um, this same (embarrassingly focused hehe X) nerdiness even then. 4.4/☝️🤓 05:38 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... boundless curiosity for learning solutions, preventions and even inventions... as well as the thorough [scientific] process to all of them in this context. As mentioned in the beginning here, forensic toxicologists and chemists have come a... 4.3/☝️🤓 05:30 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... or romanticizing the real-life aftermath of these cases, especially for the impact on the victims and their bereaved loved ones. Is and will always be empathizing with them. But I guess it is in this empathy too, that I find immense joy and... 4.2/☝️🤓 05:26 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... and read more about either online or via actual books, because pretty sure there are more similar stories like this throughout history. Very fun and interesting stuff to always delve deep into, I tell you. Not referring to the actual crimes... 4.1/☝️🤓 05:20 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... the high levels of arsenic found in him still have debatable sources to this day, (they say it could be due to tonics/medicine, not necessarily that he was poisoned or anything). So there you go: justice from the grave, indeed. Just go search... 4/☝️🤓 05:15 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... turns out his hair has 2,000+ levels of arsenic higher than normal, thus proving he was indeed murdered and concluding what was said to be a mystery already spanning centuries. Initially thought of including Napoleon Bonaparte here too, but... 3.7/☝️🤓 05:10 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... Chinese emperor: Emperor Guangzu or Guangxu? Unsure if even spelled right because only went by the narrator's accented pronunciation, but 100 years or so after his death, his hair was exhumed and analyzed. When the results were revealed, it... 3.6/☝️🤓 05:04 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... or something. It delays the rotting of the body, therefore hindering the decomposition process = preservation of the victim's body as evidence for further examination. One example of this which really stood out to me was that story about a... 3.5/☝️🤓 05:00 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... years, decades or even centuries later! Did not retain information about these exact chemical properties, but I do remember that aside from easily being found in hair and nails [if indeed used on the victim], arsenic itself is antibacterial... 3.4/☝️🤓 04:55 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... effectively does not disappear after death, you see. Unlike other poisons which are broken down as the body naturally decomposes, arsenic has unique chemical properties which enable its preservation and make it absolutely traceable despite... 3.3/☝️🤓 04:48 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... last fun bit I learned last night lol: did you know that, interestingly, arsenic is also known to "serve/bring poetic justice even from the grave"? Forensic-wise described as providing a form of "post-mortem justice", it is a chemical that... 3.2/☝️🤓 04:41 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT With the poisoners utilizing it in repeated small doses over time, the victim begins to develop a mimicry of chronic illness symptoms which mostly led to death, instead of triggering suspicions regarding sudden poisoning. Which brings us to the... 3.1/☝️🤓 04:30 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... by some later on in their crimes, albeit adapting as well to evade the improved forensic tests. Poisoners made use of arsenic sparingly instead: rather than the previous style of poisoning in one huge dose, their method shifted into small doses. 3/☝️🤓 04:20 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... and Marsh Test was created around 1800s, if I recall correctly? Speaking of such, would also like to correct the year written in point 1.2: it was *1900s, NOT 1990s. Important distinction. Sorry! That said, arsenic still continued to be used.. 2.4/☝️🤓 04:12 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... "Chief Terror of Poisoners". As this test began to be adopted into the system, it led to the massive decline of using arsenic as a murder weapon. Not much elaboration on here because again, this part's discussion was mostly from the 1900s... 2.3/☝️🤓 04:05 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... the Marsh (trying to recall if they said by John or James Marsh, because am too lazy to search online hahaha) Test. This test, which immensely changed and cleared the way for detecting arsenic even in smaller amounts, was then dubbed as the... 2.2/☝️🤓 03:58 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... came from, they did not mention specifically) that arsenic will not be noticed as much when consumed by a person, since it already exists within the body. Obviously, it was debunked later on by forensic advancements, with the earliest being... 2.1/☝️🤓 03:52 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... back to what we watched, which I recall mentioning too, that arsenic can naturally be found within our human bodies. Only low levels of it, however. In the earlier days, it was inaccurately believed (by some? more than some? IDK where this... 2/☝️🤓 03:43 PM Jan 12th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... being undetectable then [at least, when further studies/knowledge about it have not caught up yet) was also an infamous choice already for those kingdom politics + royal drama turned discreet betrayals + assassination plots in history. Now... 1.3/☝️🤓 03:35 PM Jan 12th from web
