In 1933, within the quiet corridors of the palace of the Pakur Raj, a death of the young Raja stirred more than grief—it raised suspicions. What seemed at first a tragic illness soon unraveled into one of India's most chilling and unusual murder cases, when the Raja's own, elder half-brother was accused of using a deadly germ as a weapon, turning modern science into a tool of silent assassination. Beneath the surface of royal decorum lay a dark tale of betrayal, ambition, and microscopic murder. SOURCES Morrison, Dan (2024) The Prince & The Poisoner. The History Press, London, UK.

We need to discuss some poisons found in the garden! My goal was to go into the poisons that can be found in the vegetable garden as well as in the flower garden, but I have to make it two parts because I somehow never realize how long I can talk about stuff! Also, Adam has capped my research at 5,000 words per episode as I struggle with stopping anything. Therefore, we are discussing some poisons that can be found in the vegetable gardens around the world. Rhubarb leaves, solanine in potatoes (at least those not stored properly), Cassava, ginkgo biloba seeds, cashews, and more. We have some fun (and some more tragic) stories behind each of these as well as the history and folklore of their growth and use. For instance, we need to talk about that time in WWI when the British government encouraged their citizens to eat rhubarb leaves while food was scarce or why it is not okay to munch on houseplants (I hope we all knew that one, but hey, make sure they are out of reach of children or pets if toxic).How about the guy who worked hard to make the potato popular in France? Did you know potatoes were actually once banned there because it was believed they could cause leprosy or plague? Well, obviously they do not, but when green they can make you very sick.Cassava! It is a staple crop in parts of South America and in Africa, but when not processed correctly, it can be deadly as they contain cyanogenic glycosides. So how do so many people eat it? And have there been any recent cases of poisoning from cassava? Unfortunately, yes.Have you ever seen a cashew tree or its fruit? A story from the Philippines gives a fun explanation for why it looks the way it does. Also, before being processed for eating, they are also poisonous, covered with the same substance that causes the itchy reaction when you touch poison ivy.How about a story concerning the six Gingko trees that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and how their seeds can still cause accidental poisonings today. Also, that Ginkgo leaf extract some people are taking? According to some recent studies, it may not even be helpful. Let's talk about it!Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

I left you with a bit of a riddle last week as to today's topic and as you can see, we are discussing Rabies! This is an older virus (belonging to the genus of Lyssaviruses—named for the minor Greek goddess of rage and fury, Lyssa). We are focusing on the history, mythology, pathology and signs and symptoms of the disease as well as how the first rabies vaccine was developed back in 1885 and historical cures that were not effective and a little on the weird side. From stories of “Mad Dogs” to the use of “Madstones,” we are taking a walk through history on how rabies has been a formidable and fearsome enemy to humanity and wildlife alike. We will take a look at how the disease spreads and how long it may take for symptoms to show. Hopefully, for you they never do, because once symptoms show, it is nearly 100% fatal. Less than 20 people have survived rabies and we will talk over some of these cases as well. With the proper prophylactic vaccines we have now, even post exposure, it is nearly 100% preventable. We will go over what animals carry it and are affected by it and what to look for there. I will surely rant about not approaching wildlife in general if you are not experienced as a handler or whatever, because rabid or not some animals will not hesitate to defend themselves, their young, or their territory. Also, if you have any sort of encounter with an animal known to carry rabies, it is important to seek prophylactic treatment, bite or no bite. There have been cases of victims being infected without being bit, and you may not even know you have been anyway by some of these animals. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This episode has taken some time to get here, and I apologize. We had to re-record everything because things just went crazy. It is our first regular episode that is available on video, after all, and of course there were tech issues we did not foresee. However, here we are and I am excited to bring you an explanation of an illness you may have seen recently in the news, especially in relation to the deaths of the actor Gene Hackman, his wife, and dog. While Gene did have advanced Alzheimer's disease, his the autopsy of his wife, Betsy Arakawa shows that she died of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. This is a rare, but potentially deadly, illness spread by the droppings, urine, or saliva of rodents, mainly deer mice here in America. While in other parts of the world such as Europe and Asia, it results in kidney problems and failure, the strain typically found in the Americas causes pulmonary/respiratory distress and higher rates of death as a result. There have been outbreaks of this illness such as that in the 1990s among the Four Corners region of the US, and we go into detail about that as well. So where could Betsy Arakawa have contracted this illness? Let's discuss and avoid unhealthy assumptions, shall we? Just FYI, I wanted to discuss more than one zoonotic disease this episode, but Adam has been holding me accountable to not overdoing it. So yeah, we are going to be discussing another virus next week that is more “furious.” It is older and more well known and even has ties with Greek Mythology.

For at least the past 200 years or so, there's been a lot of debate about women and the role we're supposed to play in society. Historically, we've been expected to be the nurturers, the caregivers—the gentler sex, as we used to be called. We cook the food, we nurse the sick, we mind the children. Some of us are perfectly content in that role. But all throughout history, there have also been women who've chafed against these expectations. Some of them rebelled in a healthy, heroic way—fighting for women's right to vote, to manage our own money, to pursue careers. And some have rebelled in a darker, more toxic way, using the very tools of stereotypical womanhood—food and drink—to commit the deadliest crimes. Today we'll tell you about two of those women. Case 1: Tillie Klimek. Case 2: The Marquise de Brinvilliers.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Something is killing the birds in a sleepy Auckland suburb. The locals are on a witch hunt. Alexandria Edwards was playing Pokemon Go in her car when she saw the sparrows. Dozens of them were strewn in various states of stupor on the grass nearby. Some had passed out. Others were struggling and failing to fly. Magpies were swooping at the ones who couldn't get away. She got out to shoo the bigger birds. Help arrived promptly. A call had gone out on the local Facebook community page. Come down, it said. The birds have been poisoned again.

We are back with another episode on fungi. It has been awhile since we spoke on some of our favorite poisonous mushrooms, but this time I wanted to discuss the subject of molds. Toxic black mold has long been a subject of debate within the medical community concerning just how toxic it can be to humans. Certainly, it affects those with allergies to it, chronic respiratory issues such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and COPD. It has also been shown to cause pulmonary hemorrhage in infants and in animal studies. So let's discuss how mold grows and how it causes symptoms such as headaches, breathing problems, and confusion for some. We also need to take a look at possible deaths that were related to toxic black mold. We are also discussing invasive fungal infections this episode. No, not that bad case of ringworm or athletes foot, although those are certainly annoying. I mean that which infects the respiratory system or invades through broken skin and spreads around causing havoc in our bodies. There have been millions of deaths every year related to invasive fungal infections, many of which are related to immunosuppression such as with HIV or those on immunosuppressive drugs longterm. There are various fungi that can invade the body, but this time we are focusing on Aspergillus (causing aspergillosis). I could not do another episode on fungi without including some fun ones such as whiskey fungus and radiotrophic fungi. Nor could I leave out the subject of one of the most well known video games/shows these days: The Last of Us. Yep, we are also going in to cordyceps and how it hijacks it hosts, leading them to an unfortunate demise so it can propagate more of the parasitic fungi.I promise to end on a fun note though with the cutest blue mushroom you've ever seen.

I swear I am not making these this long on purpose! We are discussing art and history and poison and I just got too excited to leave anything out! We are discussing, in detail, toxic paints of the past and the artists that used them, including Vincent Van Gogh, Caravaggio and others. We also discuss a few famous musicians that may have been affected by lead poisoning. I may have gone pretty deep into the history of some of these artists, but they are fascinating. Vincent Van Gogh had many physical and mental ailments and they may very well have been exacerbated by the many toxic paints he was in contact with. Caravaggio had many an issue with anger and brawling and when researchers found and studied his bones, they were full of lead. Lead in wine may be why musicians such Handel and Beethoven lost their sight and hearing (respectively) and suffered other physical and mental ailments. We also go into more detail with dyes used in fashion as well as the mercurial process of hat making in the past. Deadly dresses (for many a reason), poisonous waistcoats, toxic wallpaper and toys. Let's not forget the uranium glazed kitchenware from the early-mid 1900s. Do we have any collectors here?I also made a promise to talk about epoxy and polyester resins so we do briefly discuss that as well. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This is a long one, because I was too stubborn to make it two parts. I feel it is time we discuss Measles. It is making a bit of a come back in Europe and in the US, but I don't think many people know much about the illness apart from it involving a rash and such. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases that we know of. It is not the same as chicken pox (though that one does such as well), and it can lead to lasting disabilities and death in some cases, especially in young children. Many of you may have seen the recent death of a Texas child because of Measles, for instance. While there are people who get through the virus unscathed, we cannot predict who will end up dying or left with longterm complications (even some that do not show up until years after the original infection). It is estimated that 1 in five people who catch measles will end up hospitalized. We also discuss Mumps and Rubella this episode, because the typical vaccine for Measles also protects agains these two as well. Speaking of vaccines, we just had to go into the ingredients, purpose, and mechanisms of those in general and in the MMR vaccine specifically. Lastly, we need to discuss where the anti-vaccination stuff started and that involves the history of Andrew Wakefield and his fraudulent paper that was later retracted. This is the man who put forth (and still promotes) the reason for fears that have led to a decline in childhood vaccines. He lost his medical license but still makes good money off his supporters.

When we think of serial killers, we tend to think of men—Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jack the Ripper. But in the 1800s, the deadliest killers often wore corsets. In fact, so many women were arrested for serial poisoning that the era became known as the “Golden Age of Arsenic.” Journey back in time to trace the crimes of Lydia Sherman, a Victorian Era femme fatale who left a trail of bodies in her wake. How did she — and women like her — evade capture for so long? And how did their murders help give rise to modern criminal forensics?Guests: Kristen Frederick-Frost, curator of science at the Smithsonian's National Musuem of American History Lisa Perrin, author and illustrator of The League of Lady Poisoners Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook.

Spring is nearly upon us and I've been thinking about all the gardening possibilities but also the return of all the annoying pests that make gardening and being outside (especially in the South of the US) so difficult. So, I thought it would be a good time to discuss pesticides. Well, the ones we have not covered yet, because remember, arsenic, lead, mercury, cyanide, and many of the murderous elements and compounds we have discussed in the past were also used in pesticides. I wanted to go big this time and discuss those used in large scale agriculture or pest control for disease spreading insect (like those pesky and sometimes deadly mosquitoes). We are talking about the organochlorines (mainly DDT), the organophosphates (which were also involved in chemical warfare), and a few others that were used for more nefarious purposes...like murder. We are looking into the history, uses, abuses, and consequences (short term and long term) of such chemicals, as well as when and why some were banned in various places.

A GOOD NIGHT SNACK exclusive Patreon series from A Good Night For a Murder.This is an episode PREVIEW. Listen to the full episode in the Housekeeper & Butler tier on PATREON.When I sit down to do episode planning, I do often try to align with the seasons and the holidays, but February, which includes Valentines Day, can be a challenge when one covers historic true crime. So, I had to do it in my own way, which is a bit dark - but, I always find there's something to learn from those stories too. Earlier this month, I covered two black widow killers, and tonight, for this Good Night Snack, I'm going to cover the famous 17th century Italian poisoner, Julia Tofana, and her signature poison used by possibly hundreds of women to kill their husbands, aqua tofana.Follow along on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube @agoodnightforamurder or www.agoodnightforamurder.com, and subscribe where ever you listen to podcasts.

I hope you are all well and staying safe! I was pondering the pollution of our worlds waterways this week and thought we could take on the discussion of some toxic and polluted (sometimes deadly) rivers. Obviously, I cannot speak on every single river that could qualify for these titles in one episode, so if you like this topic then we can do more in a future episode. Today however we are visiting West Java, Indonesia, where the Citarum River supplies water for drinking, bathing, cleaning, and irrigation for crops for millions of people. There also happen to be around 2,000 industries on its banks dumping waste such as heavy metals and toxic byproducts into the water. Solid waste such as plastic, diapers, and other household trash is also dumped in and along the river by residents of the capital city of Bandung and many villages living near its waters. In some areas, you cannot even see the surface of the water and dead fish and other animals float alongside the rubbish. This along with livestock waste and human sewage has made the river dangerous to those living near it and using it on a daily basis. We also discuss the Rio Tinto in Spain, where the water runs orange-red to blood red in color due to over 5,000 years of mining in the area. The water is acidic and filled with heavy metals and other mining byproducts. Oh, and we have to discuss the company that now operates the mine, conveniently called the Rio Tinto Company, and their many shady dealings all over the world. The Ganges is well known for a few things: it is a holy site for Hindus and it is heavily polluted with untreated sewage, human remains, industrial waste, and agricultural run-off. The water quality has been so bad that the incidence for illness after getting into the water is over 65%. Even, so, many Hindu pilgrims come to bathe ritually in this river and to dispose of human ashes as it is considered a place where sins are forgiven. I had to put at least one US river on here (because there are a lot of polluted rivers here as well), so I decided to go with the Ohio River (a hard decision as I was also thinking of the Mississippi and the Hudson as well). Most of the pollution here is caused by past industrial waste (including PFAs, dioxin, benzene, etc) and agricultural run-off. Oh and as a bonus, we head to the jungles of Peru to talk about one of my favorite rivers. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Happy (late) Valentine's Day! I wanted to discuss a bit of history behind the holiday for those interested and I though this would be a great time to discuss...parasites! Also, one such parasite is spread by a critter called the Kissing Bug, so thats fun. These particular bugs spread the parasite that causes Chaga's Disease which has affected mainly Central and South America, but is becoming a problem elsewhere as well. The bug and the illness has a long history and involves such characters as Charles Darwin. Another parasite we are discussing is transmitted via the painful bite of the tsetse fly and is found in various parts of Africa. This parasite causes African Sleeping Sickness (there are two types in humans, basically). So lets learn about these parasites, their vectors, and the history behind these diseases as well as the symptoms, current status, and treatments. Also, lets learn how to avoid parasites...actual ones and, well, those among the human population ;)Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

I wanted to talk about a subject that we have hinted about before: Syphilis! Yes, this is an STD and we are mentioning the history and scientific side of this disease, but this will not be graphic apart from mentioning symptoms and causes. I just want to mention this for those with young children who sometimes listen. Keeping it clean, but do make your own judgment based on the content.Alrighty then, the history of Syphilis is both fascinating an tragic. It broke out in Europe most likely beginning in the late 1400s, possibly brought from the Americas/Caribbean by Columbus and his crew, and spread from there rapidly. As we know, it was blamed more so on the four humors being out of balance or on having insulted the gods/God and being thus plagued. We are discussing the history of its name, symptoms, stigma, and treatments. This disease disfigured and killed many throughout history and created many difficulties in times of warfare. We are also looking at the progression of out understanding of it being caused by a bacterial agent and how antibiotics were a game changer for those infected. Finally, we cannot talk about Syphilis without mentioning the US Public Health's Tuskegee Experiment, as it was terribly unethical and racist. Just a heads up, there will be a pause in the middle of this episode where Adam departs for a school event with our daughter, and I bring in our bestie, Erin Fortenberry!Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Host Cody Cook sits down with esteemed journalist and author Stephen Kinzer to delve into the shadowy world of CIA's former mind control program, MK-ULTRA, as explored in Kinzer's book Poisoner in Chief. The discussion focuses on the enigmatic figure of Sidney Gottlieb, the program's leader, and his dual personality – a torturer by day and a gentle, nature-loving bohemian by night.Kinzer offers insights into the origins and motivations behind MK-ULTRA, revealing the agency's fears of Soviet and Chinese advancements in mind control during the early Cold War. The conversation explores Gottlieb's gruesome experiments, involving torture and chemical agents, and the recruitment of former Nazi and Japanese scientists.Kinzer and Cook discuss the evolving concept of the "deep state" and the intersection of political interests and government actions, offering a thought-provoking examination of conspiracy theories and their plausibility.

I told you guys last week we'd cover a few power plant disasters and the uranium mines in the US on Navajo Nation lands. Three Mile Island is located in Pennsylvania in the US, and was the site of a relatively small nuclear power plant. I want to go into its history as well as what happened on March 28th, 1979, only three months after the second generator began operating, when there was a malfunction leading to a partial meltdown and risking the plant and those around the site. This incident was about 7 years before the accident at Chernobyl, and while it was not as serious, it did cause a lot of concern and fear about nuclear energy. We also discuss the disaster that caused the meltdown at the Fukushima Power Plant in Japan. On March 11, 2011, there was a massive earthquake near the plant followed by a equally massive tsunami some time later. The natural disasters themselves left 20,000 people in the coastal area, where many plant workers lived with their families, dead or missing. The Tsunami made it over the sea wall of the plant, flooding and damaging generators, control systems, and cooling systems. Three of the six reactors had been online at the time and without coolant getting to the systems, meltdown was imminent. Lastly, we have to discuss the abandoned Uranium mines in the Navajo Nation. Between 1944-1986, these mines were leased by the Navajo Nation to companies for the extraction of uranium for the creation of nuclear weapons and such. Many of those in the Navajo tribe worked these mines without proper protection or even ventilation. None of them were told about the possible effects radiation from the site could have on them.

Finally getting to post this one! Just a heads up, my voice still sounds funny thanks to being sick, but feel free to laugh with us as I fail to use words properly a few times this episode lol. This week we travel to Indonesia to discuss the sulfur mines on an active volcano and the miners who collect it to be processed. While tourist travel to see the blue flames caused by the burning sulfur, most of the miners cannot afford such a thing or gloves. They normally cover their mouths with wet cloths and travel miles up steep, rocky, terrain to mine the sulfur and bring hundred of pounds back the same way, all the while facing blistering from longterm exposure to the sulfur and lasting respiratory problems. Oh and there are acidic lakes, too. Next we move on to India, where pollution and toxic waste dumping have long been a problem. In the capital of Madhya Pradesh, one of the worst industrial accidents occurred in 1984, now known as the Bhopal Gas Disaster. How did it happen and what were its effects? For one, it killed and injured thousands, leaving many with serious longterm health problems. Also, the area has never been fully cleaned up, though recent measures have been announced.

We are bringing you the second part of our discussion of tuberculosis. This episode reviews the illness a bit but delves into some of the treatments attempted in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. This includes the institutions known as sanitariums (one starting in a cave, strangely enough) where tuberculosis patients (who could afford to) would travel for treatment regimens including routine sunning and fresh air sessions as well as rest and what was deemed as good nutrition. This was also a way to isolate those with the disease to keep them from spreading it. Some of these institutions were not the "health spas" they were made out to be, abusing, neglecting, and experimenting on patients instead. We finally reach the discovery of antibiotics and possible vaccines and cures that were met with both joy and cynicism. Since the first use of these antibiotics, which were miraculous for the time for sure, more have been created to fight the illness more effectively, especially with antibiotic resistant strains becoming a problem. Lets travel through time and revisit the horrors of this illness, the petty disputes and drama of some of the scientists involved in trying to stop it, and the discovery of what worked.

I have wanted to discuss an illness so old and vile, it has made its mark on all of society and culture throughout centuries of its gruesome existence. Tuberculosis was also called the wasting disease, consumption, and the "white death," among other things and has plagued humanity for thousands of years. Lets look at its history and effects on societies and cultures throughout the world and how it finally became recognized as a bacterial infection (a vicious one at that). It eats away at the lungs and beyond as it can affect every organ system of the body and kills gradually. We'll discuss some of the more superstition reasoning for the disease given by earlier societies and the gruesome methods they tried to cure it. We also cannot talk about tuberculosis without mentioning its impact on fashion and beauty standards (yes you read that right) especially among the Victorians.

We are bringing you a poison found in many garages and used as a coolant for engines and de-icing windshields and aircraft, and strangely also found in products such as snow globes in small amounts. Antifreeze poisoning cases reach about 5,000 annually here in the US due to accidental or intentional ingestion of the toxin. This poison wreaks havoc throughout the body and can kill rather quickly and horribly. Aside from discussing how this poison acts in the body and the unfortunate effects victims face, we have stories ranging from poor and fraudulent business practices using the toxin to straight murder. These cases get weird, devious, and invest in some good cabinet locks. We greatly appreciate all of our listeners and supporters and love your comments and messages!

So why are some plants even connected to Christmas? Well, beyond the obvious that some are red and green, like the ever popular poinsettia, there are a lot of stories and myths surrounding them. For instance, did you know mistletoe was revered by the celts and has its place in Greek/Roman symbolism and Norse mythology? Or where kissing under mistletoe even comes from? Lets have some festive fun this episode and talk about the history and toxicity of the plants we love to decorate with this time of year!

We have part two of The Bubonic Plague and its many outbreaks throughout history! I hope y'all are ready, because this is a long one because I didn't want to leave too much out. In this part, we review the decline of the medieval Black Death as well as various (and strange) cures that honestly did not help. We also discuss the rise of the Great Plague that hit London and surrounding villages in 1665-1666 and the effects of it, as well as the changing beliefs and still strange and unhelpful remedies. We can't NOT discuss more modern outbreaks or how it was finally discovered what was causing the plague and how this changed everything.

I hope you are all well and ready to discuss a subject that is well, a little dark. The Bubonic Plague! The Black Death! The Great Plague! We've all heard how the Black Death took out like 1/3 of Europe when it arrived there in the 1300s, but how did it get there and where did it come from. We are going back much earlier to look at previous bouts of plague and how the bacteria mutated to be so deadly as well as how and why the disease spread so quick and so far. We are also looking at what the people of the day thought about the plague and where it might have come from (as ya know they did not have the resources or understanding that we do today). That is this episode (part 1), but don't worry because when part 2 comes out, we are moving forward a bit in history because the plague did not stop there.

Today I'm joined by author Coby Michael to chat about poison plants and their potential use within your witchcraft practice. Examining the art and science of working with noxious and malefic plants and fungi, Coby Michael discusses the occult properties of poison and how poison plants can be used in spell work and other magical operations. He looks at the plants of Fate and the divination practices they support, love magic with poison plants, shadow work, the devil's garden, and the use of nightshades as power plants for medicine and magic. Presenting a detailed formulary, he shares rituals, magical correspondences, and recipes for working with specific poison plant allies and other baneful herbs of occult herbalism.Exploring the path of dark herbalism, the author explains how it encompasses not only veneficium—poisonous plants and fungi—but all plants that humanity has tried to forget, from “invasive” plants and those we can't domesticate to those that have been regulated arbitrarily or simply feared as “toxic” or “poison.” He shows how the dark herbalist seeks out plants that are adversarial or taboo because the qualities we consider “dark” are really the plant's spiritual medicine and can offer powerful wisdom and healing. Examining poison history, lore, and occult toxicology, he explains how the aim of using these plants is not to cause physical death, but rather death of the ego. He shows how “poison” in this sense is an alchemical force that allows the practitioner to become a vessel for the forbidden fruit of knowledge and how the transmutation of our personal poisons can lead to powerful self-transformation.

Poison friends! Hi! It was a week of turkey laden frivolity or whatever as Thanksgiving was this past Thursday, and I could not help but feel the need to cover some foodborne illnesses that can range from annoying and gross to deadly. Come on a journey through time and...microbiology? as we discuss, Salmonella, Typhoid Mary Mallon, and Botulism. It is going to be a little gross and a lot informative (yes, I realize that does not work well grammatically). Thanks so much to all of our listeners and supporters, you guys have truly been so encouraging and helpful, and we love sharing this time with you guys.

I am honestly surprised this subject has not come up yet, because it is humorous....jk that was so lame. HUMORS! Lets talk about how "medicine" used to be and what philosophers and doctors (and even barbers?) thought about the human body. If you were sick, "hysterical," or struggling with "depraved habits," then the four humors (blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm) were out of balance, you simply needed a good bloodletting. Where did this idea come from and how did it effect society? What does George Washington have to do with it? Oh, and smallpox and its relatives!! I swear we'll connect it all!
