A hundred years ago, moldy clover was causing cows to bleed to death. Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (the WARF in Warfarin) supported some smart people to isolate the anti-coagulant. At first there was no medical use for the substance, but it sure was good at killing rats.
I can almost hear Enos saying, “It was worth it!” 🙂
Ever hear of Warfarin? Rat poison as blood thinner
I’ll check at the CVS
