Will one drop of nicotine kill a horse?

Best Answers

OK I'll do the maths. Let's assume you mean pure nicotine. Commonly this is for sale at 99.7% purity and we'll call that 'pure'. read more

While more than 50mg of nicotine could probably dissolve in a drop of water, that is only the human lethal level, not the amount needed for a horse, which is much larger. So, no, one"drop" would probably only sicken a horse, unless horses are distinctly more sensitive to nicotine than humans. read more

If horses are particularly susceptible to nicotine, then it could well be a lethal dose at 0.05ml. Edit: This puts the LD50 (The dose where half the subjects die) in horses as 100-300 mg/animal, so if 2.5 0.05ml drops kill 50% of horses, its possible that 1 drop could kill a horse, even if it didn't kill most horses. read more

So a tiny amount of pure nicotine directly into the blood stream will kill you. The Previous Statement is False. New Studies have found that a Nicotine O.D. can be anywhere from 500-1000Mg. there is .9Mg of nicotine in one Cigarette, and you need to intake almost 1000% of that in order to die. read more
