tasks was to analyse the water we were drinking. He soon arranged for a
regular delivery of water to us, for, amongst other impurities, he found
there was a fair amount of arsenic the water garnered off the roof, so I
would not drink yours without careful analysis by a professional.

Question - Do people often die of arsenic poisoning?

Answer - No only once!.

Arsenic is a cumulative poison so the answer is yes. You die by
degrees.


Come now Harry read what is written. No one dies often :-)
