Nicotine really is a great natural pesticide.

At 40%, it’ll definitely kill all your pests, including the bigger ones like your neighbors.

Is that why tobacco plants produce nicotine in the first place?

Can confirm, grasshoppers are voracious, opportunistic terrorists and yet, will barely nibble a tender tobacco leaf before quickly moving on to something else.

It’s amazing humanity has survived. So many old products were like “Here’s some concentrated poison. Spread it in your house, on your food, and in the air you breathe. It also makes a great toothpaste and eyeliner!”

And the longer we’re alive we realise how much it affected us.

The next big one (assuming we survive climate change) will probably be the millions of ICE vehicles just driving around where we live and work.

I mean this isn’t really poison tho. It’s just nicotine which is a natural plant product specifically evolved as a pesticide.

A.K.A., a poison.

“Natural” doesn’t mean “good” – lots of natural things are poisonous.

Natural, like hungry bears and cyanide.

Go ahead and look into the toxicity of a single drop (30-60mg) of nicotine. Plenty of “natural plant products” that are poisons.

And this is a 1 oz/28gram bottle, at 40% concentrate.

One can only hope this “nicotine concentrate” is itself not pure nicotine.

Everything is poisonous at some dose. These are evolved neurotoxins for fighting insects but in the doses humans use them they are just stimulants and probably neuroprotective. They do have downsides like causing cardiovascular stress and creating chemical dependencies though, but people often don’t die directly from caffeine or nicotine consumption.

This exact product was used in a case of intentional poisoning in Michigan:

That sheep on the left is completely dissolving!

That’s one way to get rid of scabs and ticks I suppose.

“Drenching” is another word for deworming. Sheep are very, very prone to a variety of parasites. It’s hard to keep a sheep alive at all.
