    LD50 is 5,800 mg/kg

    I’m kind of surprised it’s that high.

      That means the average adult male could have about ~24fl oz/0.74L of acetone and only die half the time

      Just dilute it a bit and you got yourself a new drink

      Acetone is weird, it’s produced in our bodies and processed with normal metabolic processes. But 5+g/kg still seems like a lot!

      Acetone is produced and disposed of in the human body through normal metabolic processes. Small quantities of it are present naturally in blood and urine. People with diabetic ketoacidosis produce it in larger amounts. Medical ketogenic diets that increase ketone bodies (acetone, β-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid) in the blood are used to suppress epileptic attacks in children with treatment-resistant epilepsy.[29]

          His real name was Theophrastus Bombastus Von Hohenheim.

          No one names their kids like this any more, now it’s all Jayden, Jaiden, J-day, …

            Bit of a shame really. With a name like that the kid gets a lot of choices for nick names.

      It’s so volatile by the time it warms up it all comes out as gas.
