On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems. […] Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.

He was the jackass who invented both leaded gasoline and CFCs and inflicted them on the world.

Yes, but a mystery mushroom would likely have much quicker-acting effects and it would be glorious to watch a bunch of these goobers keep over or absolutely trip balls on live television.

Isn’t the amanita mushroom one of the most deadly, and its unique symptom is that you (seem to) recover after a day or two?
…
THEN the second unique symptom hits and you get to open up the abdominal cavity and pour out the remains of the liver.
