So, because it was used in Nazi Germany, no one else can use it? Nazi Germany used 9 mm handgun ammo, so no one can use it now? While I sympathize with the families of the millions killed in this way, it is the National Socialist doctrine and it’s followers, not HCN that was guilty for killing defenselessness Jews. This same Socialist doctrine is rearing it’s nasty head today. Liberal Logic will end up killing millions. Christians and Conservatives are the new people that are being attacked. Just wait five years if you doubt it.
The effects of HCN on animals is well understood. HCN binds to hemoglobin better than O2, and replaces it. Death occurs by cellular suffocation.
CN stops Ox Phos in the mitochondria.
