the measurement doesn’t make sense to me, why is the deadliness of poison measured in how many of something it can kill? i understand the animal, such as an elephant, is important since bigger animals need larger quantities of or more deadly poisons, but what does it mean when its said poison can kill “a herd of elephants”? how do you know that one drop can kill a multitude of individuals?
In: Chemistry
It’s a dramatic way to highlight the potency of the poison. Like saying a car has horse-level horsepower, but scarier.
