Poison

26 February 2015, London, United Kingdom


Introduction
Has your partner been asking about insurance? Does your tea taste funny? Do you have a relative tenaciously clinging to life? At this event Dr Kathryn Harkup will explore the potted history of classic poisons, poisoners and their victims. Expect mad monks, lethal umbrellas and deadly wallpaper!
This talk examines six poisons popularised by crime writers and real life assassins. By looking at symptoms we find out how these chemicals do their deadly work inside the body, how victims can be treated and how, under the right circumstances, a poison can be medically beneficial.

Start time 19.00
