    Ok so i am new to this https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/really-build-immunity-iocane-powder-162927341.html?guccounter=1

    DOES SOMETHING LIKE IOCANE EXIST? As previously noted, iocane is a made-up poison, invented for the story.

    Like iocane, arsenic doesn’t have a taste or an odor, and it can be dissolved in liquid.

    The major difference between arsenic and iocane powder — and it is admittedly a big difference — is that arsenic doesn’t kill immediately.

    When it comes to arsenic, our real-world allegory of iocane powder, it doesn’t appear as though you can build up a tolerance through increasing low-level exposure.

    A community located in a village in the Andes appears to have adapted a genetic tolerance to arsenic over the course of thousands of years
