What would be the taste of Cyanide?

Arleitter · Jul 19th, 2009, 05:49 AM

So far the science world has failed to establish a result.

I was having a `gupshup' with my frinds at office today and this topic was suddenly barged in.One of my friends said a youth in down south Kerala had committed suicide by swallowing cyanide a couple of years ago(He had apparently taken cyanide along with liquor).During his last minutes he wrote a letter to the doctor mentioning the taste of cyanide was something like `burning sensation' one.Medias reported it and gave importance to it as a very particular case in which taste of cyanide was actually brought to the world.The doctor who examined his body reported to have said that because of the effects of the alcohol he consumed ,it took a long time for him to die.My friend said the letter was almost a lengthy letter but was showing the signs of his physical fluctuations ,as he was nearing his death.

Do you people have any corroborative pieces regarding the taste of Cyanide?

At least I don't have any corroborative piece on the subject.
But if you do get some solid substance... Just lemme know if i can use it as a spice in my handi. And when's its most effective?

I'd rather feed a few hungry people with even a single dollar spent on this study. What good can possibly come from this knowledge?

No knowledge is useless.

Maybe, but utilizing resources on lower priority tasks while higher ones suffer?

Cyanide has ended regimes,wars and personalities.....So it is not going to be a lower priority task.

Sure it has. But do you think knowing the taste of it would have made a difference?
Maybe some king would've realized his milk tastes like cyanide and would refuse to drink it.
