Wait, I Researched This!

Some of the deadliest things in the world don't look particularly dangerous.

Water can become toxic. Medicine can become poison. And sometimes, the difference between the two is simply how much.

In this episode of Wait, I Researched This, we're diving into the science and history of poisons and antidotes: how toxins affect the body, why dose matters, how toxicologists study poisoning, and what actually happens when something goes catastrophically wrong.

Then we head into the darker rabbit holes: the history of poisoning, the infamous Aqua Tofana, famous poisoning cases, common poisons, and the strange science of antidotes.

Because “the dose makes the poison” sounds simple.

It turns out, it really, really isn't.
