Describing quantities of chemicals by how many people it could kill is a bit sensationalist. For instance, a truck load of bleach is enough to kill 20 thousand people. It sounds scary, but it's barely noteworthy otherwise.
- EA-3167 2y agoA truck load of bleach isn't intended for human consumption, a smuggled load of fentanyl is. That's a critical difference. Besides, if truck loads of bleach were routinely killing thousands of people a year, we'd be freaking out about truck loads of bleach too.
- foxyv 2y ago44k people per year in the US are poisoned by bleach, sometimes leading to serious injury, blindness and death. You can make anything sound worse than it actually is with a little creativity. But when you see sensationalist claims like above, be prepared for someone to sell you a bill of goods.
