[QUOTE=A Hoffman Not Abbie]

I am starting off with an extremely small dose of only 250 µg to start with, and will gradually increase in quarter-milligram increments until some discernable reaction occurs.

My guess is that I ingested or absorbed some of it in the process of cleaning up on the 16th. The strength of my reaction indicates a substantial dose of perhaps a gram or more, but because I am usually meticulous in my laboratory cleanup procedures I am going to purse this in a very conservative manner.

Well, time to head home before it gets too dark to see the bike path. I’ll post in a month or so, or sooner if I am able to elicit a reaction before that time.

I just bought the cutest cow (link). She does seem to be nervous and start kicking around fire, but I’m sure that won’t be a problem.
