Diamond Dust

Have you ever just thought someone should die in the most painful way possible? I for example on multiple occasions have wanted the majority of Fox News faces to end up 6 feet under ground. But somtimes people die to fast for some reason us humans enjoy when the things we hate suffer for what they have done the most cruel of those ways is diamond dust.

Diamond dust is perhaps the most terrible poison in existence, and after our brief explanation, it will be easy to understand why.

Every poison has a principle behind its action - Cyanides attack, alkaloids destroy, barbiturates deade, glycosides deteriorate, ricin and abrin phytotoxins agglutinate - Diamond dust abrades.

If one ingess diamond dust, the natural peristaltic motion of the digestive tract causes these tiny splinters of the world's hardest substance to imbed themselves along the alimentary canal, the natural motions of the inner body causing them to work deeper and deeper until your internal organs are perforated and ripped apart.

The pain accompanying this can only be imagined by a few. A large amount of diamond dust would probably feel similar to having a Portuguese Man-O-War living inside of you.

This goes on from anywhere between two and six months, until the victim is dead.

Even from its very earliest stages, the difficulties behind diagnosis can well be imagined the only way to extract the tiny diamond splinters is surgery, wherein each particle would have to be located and removed individually, an impossible feat.

Now of course you are saying, Chains, i've never heard of Diamond dust before only sick people like you would know about it. But diamond dust was actually a rather popular means of assassination during the Renaissance. The great sculptor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini was nearly murdered by it. His would-be assassin made the mistake of bringing the diamond he wished to have pounded to a poverty stricken jeweller. The jeweller sold the diamond and instead gave him the dust of a powdered beryl. The beryl dust lacking the extreme hardness of diamond, can produce no lasting damage, its shards soon become rounded off in the body.
