“Rather than throw the white arsenic away, it was realised that money could be made by selling the substance as a poison to get rid of all kinds of vermin, including cockroaches, rats, stray animals - as well as relatives and secret lovers.”

“Sometimes what makes things toxic is exactly what allows them to be used for good.”

“In 2016 a clinical study was performed using antibodies that were designed to be attracted to cancerous cells in the bladder. As the antibodies bound specifically to the cancer cells, they took along the ricin A chain. Like a Trojan horse, the cancer let the antibody-ricin complex inside its cells, where the ricin went on to kill the tumor. The realization of Ehrlich’s magic bullet now seems a real possibility. Thus cutting-edge therapeutic uses of ricin would seem to rehabilitate the reputation of even the deadliest of substances.”
