Testing the boundaries between food, poison and medicine is a
public show made into a continuing drama of risk and survival. This
book is the first to explore the tradition of deliberate poison
eating, its practitioners, and the substances that might nourish or
kill them. Readers interested in the human history of drugs and
medicine, in feats of endurance usually survived and in the play of
controlling and regulatory authorities that always accompanies drug
and poison use will find Poison Eaters especially appealing.
