Biscuit Tin Is Recycled Insecticide Cannister

[fxm88]

Those of you that know me know that one of the things I love about Thailand is how cheap things can be. I mean, where else can you buy these monster boxes of biscuits for like 100 baht! Don't be too surprised, though, when after eating half the box you discover that they come in a recycled insecticide canister. My camera's not good enough to get a close-up of the inside label but the ingredients listed are Cyphenothrin 0.3% W/W and Imiprothrin 0.1% W/W. Still, they taste good, the kids love 'em, and that price is hard to beat -- so what's to complain about?

One of the symptoms of Imiprothrin poisoning is "Irritability to sound or touch, abnormal facial sensation, sensation of prickling, tingling or creeping on skin, numbness."

Of course, that could just be me.

On the bright side, the ant problem in my apartment seems to have cleared up considerably!
