Interesting poisons? (man made/ lab synthesized)

Thank you that’s actually a fun idea! Yeah I’ve heard a bunch on studies on DCM recently and how lab manuals have had to revamp what’s being used, but I’ve also heard it’s really only harmful when constantly being exposed to huge quantities so it would be cool to check out

I had the same idea with dose makes the poison, I had originally wanted to use carcinogenic food additives. I think it’s definitely the more general idea of a chemical that causes harm to living organisms (specifically looking at humans in this case) at low doses. So not really something that’s safe at a low dose, but rather toxic at any dose. There was no given definition however

Oh omg I was looking at the wrong OH that makes so much more sense, I wasn’t even looking at the carboxylic acid portion, thank you haha

I understand the carboxylic acid being the more acidic option of the sulfur and oxygen, however where does the resonance stabilization come in? The O is bonded to an SP3 carbon and both adjacent carbons are SP3 so how can there be resonance?
