I’ve had a busy week. Saw the story and concerns were rattling in the back of my head. The narrative is that of cumulative poisoning, but this stuff is really caustic and I’d expect mouth or throat burns right away. The article below talks about results of Drain cleaner poisoning.
That said, the pouring into a cup doesn’t make any sense. All the brands come with low splash formulas. If you were concerned about safety and wanted to pour it into a cup, why wouldn’t you do it in the sink?
None of this makes any sense

Indeed, I don’t know why it wouldn’t cause obvious problems right away. This is not arsenic build-up. This stuff kills right away. Small amounts should be very damaging. Did this man ever go to a clinic or at least feel the need to self-treat in a big way?
