Cyanide use during Civil War?
I vaguely heard that during one of the wars (Civil War, WWI, WWII) that some soldiers had a cyanide capsule inside a tooth, and if they were about to be put in a heinous situation, they could just bit down on the tooth and they were gone instantly.
Can someone lend some specifics to this? I Google'd this but couldn't find anything. |
That would suck I bite my tongue and crack my teeth together all the time accidentally.

Cyanide was developed by the Germans in WWII, so no Civil War tooth.
|
Actually, it was developed much sooner than that, in the eighteenth century.
|
Actually cyanide was discovered, not developed (and for the record, in my post I meant that I hadnt heard of it used as a suicide pill before WWII, not that it didnt exist)
|
Yeah, that's what I meant. Anyhow, it was discovered/developed/created/recognized/whatever in 1782.
|
They did however use cyanide teeth in the Atreides/Harkonnen battles of 10191 A.G.
