Warfarin-based poisons are not particularly unpleasant. The victims
just
get weaker and weaker and lapse into a coma.

The Warfarin tends to prevent the blood clotting, and the passage of
food down the gut abrades the villi (a design feature to allow
nutrients
to be absorbed through the walls of the blood vessels) and the animal
loses blood internally, and weakens and dies. There is no pain
involved.

How do you know?

because it's used in humans as an anti clotting agent.

The village idiot mentality is astounding!

I have to consume precisely 2.5 milligram of Warfarin daily. Any less and I
stand in danger of problems with blood clots developing in my mechanical
heart valve. Any more and I start suffering from internal haemorraging.
