🧠Lecture: "Poisoned Booze: From Rome to Prohibition and Beyond"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. JP
From wine in ancient Rome to backwoods moonshine, the history of poisoned alcohol is as wild as it is deadly. Join emergency physician and toxicologist Dr. JP as we trace toxic brews across time and place, from government-adulterated liquor during Prohibition to the infamous “Ginger Jake” paralysis that even found its way into popular songs.
We’ll dive into tales of deadly beer and wine, explore recent tourist tragedies in places like Laos, and break down the symptoms, treatments, and antidotes that can mean the difference between survival and last call.
Dr. JP is the creator and host of the Pick Your Poison Podcast, a fast-paced, interactive show packed with fascinating facts about toxins. Their publications on cocaine, meth, bath salts, fentanyl, and body packing of drugs for internal concealment have been recognized nationally and internationally.
