Looking at the medical mystery behind the thallium poisoning case of Chinese college student Zhu Ling.

In 1994, a bright, young college student in Beijing suddenly fell dangerously ill. As her condition worsened and doctors scrambled for answers, no one could explain what was happening. A blog post from her friends uncovered the truth: she was being poisoned. But the discovery raised more questions than it answered. Who was targeting her, and why? Today, we’re looking at the Thallium Poisoning of Zhu Ling.

This is gonna be crazy can't wait for the future of rebweb, also Thallium is a crazy scary poison. Since skin contact was enough during the cold war it was a favorite with espionage and attempted assassination, as an impromptu poison if I remember correctly.

Any time you get something like a poisoning it feels to me like a contracted hit. I know there's nothing that would back up that claim but it feels like with the ties that her roommate had it wouldn't have been hard to have someone else dispatch her with thallium. This podcast has screwed with my brain so now its dive deep into conspiracy lol thanks for another fantastic episode 10/10

15:30 sounds like you are describing a basic titration! Specific indicators are used because of how they interact with certain molecules to produce a visual *indicator* of when the reaction is complete (color stays). This is used to determine the concentration of a certain material in solution. For example: how much chloride is in this sample? Titrate with silver nitrate (titrant) and potassium chromate (indicator) until the solution turns red, then multiply the volume of titrant used by the dilution factor (if using (1mL sample + 10mL deionized water) in this case, you’d multiply by 10,000 to reach the Chloride count) and boom, there’s your answer. This is part of my every day job, but there is rarely a time to talk about it lol. Hope this was mildly interesting.

Honestly these ones that involve poisoning are always spookiest to me because it feels so personal every time (even if it is a hired hit or something because someone had enough feelings to hire said hit) and it also feels so real, compared to some of the ones that are kind of out of time for something that could happen. Thank you for such a good episode

Thank you! And totally agreed. Poisoning is extra sinister and feels like it could be anyone at that point.

Hey alright! We love a buff mind explanation, thank you!
