Toxicity and biological effects
Methyl iodide has an LD50 for oral administration to rats 76 mg/kg, and in the liver it undergoes rapid conversion to S-methylglutathione.[6] It is a possible carcinogen based on ACGIH, NTP, or EPA classification.
Breathing methyl iodide fumes can cause lung, liver, kidney and central nervous system damage. It causes nausea, dizziness, coughing and vomiting. Prolonged contact with skin causes burns. Massive inhalation causes pulmonary edema.

We should be growing these in large underground greenhouses next to nuclear power plants which are to be lit during “non-peak hours”. Grow them hydroponically to prevent disease and bugs etc....
Just saying my plan would be better for “the earth” and put to use wasted nuclear energy. Plus the people we employ at the green houses can sleep during the day and more employment for all, huzzah!
Lemme guess. ... methyl bromide doesn’t have any kind of patent on it. ... methyl iodide does.
