Isn't the LD 50 just over a gram?

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

What I read was that it's about 200mg per kg, so for a 70kg human that works out to 14 grams. That actually sounds remarkably high (14 grams is a lot). Did I mess up somewhere?

I didn't bother to look it up, that was just my random vague understanding. I'd trust your numbers over mine.
