Description

We're bringing you an encore presentation of the story that inspired this podcast (plus bonus commentary!). Harini talks about the Chicago Tylenol Murders (or Tylenol Murders) of 1982 and how this terrorizing event completely changed the pharmaceutical industry's drug-packaging practices. It also influenced stricter Federal anti-tampering legislation. Although copycat attempts of drug tampering and poisoning threatened the nation immediately following the Chicago murders, the case remains open to this day with no true leads.

A pharmacist and her longtime friend walk into a bar. What emerges is a dotty little science podcast, with a taste for toxicology. Poisons, medical mysteries, political assassinations, healing rituals, environmental disasters, pandemics & more - nothing is off the lab table here. This is the science of storytelling at its finest.
