They could have taken it to a high tech chemical analysis lab...could have determined LOTS of things before Imbibing some unknown fluid...I suppose their next adventure will be eating wild mushrooms...
This. I can’t even imagine how many contaminants might be in that liquid.
Alta, Utah, a silver mine.
Silver mining produces highly toxic byproducts, most notably
mercury used in amalgamation, which causes severe environmental contamination. Other significant, harmful byproducts and associated contaminants include lead, arsenic, cadmium, copper, and residual silver sulfides. These pollutants, particularly mercury, result in long-term contamination of air, soil, and water.
