We used to use cyanide where I worked
So we had antidote kits available, which contained amyl nitrate. There was at least one occasion where a colleague claimed to have inhaled cyanide but there was more than a hint that they were just after a free hit during working hours!

Was it actually an antidote
Or merely something to help the poisoned enjoy their last few minutes?

Plating circuit boards?

What happens when you OD on poppers?
I've seen someone try to drink them, but whenever I've sniffed too much all I got was a blinding headache.
I've also had a (non-smoking) friend ask for a cigarette, dip it in the bottle and stick it up his nose.
Takes all sorts, I suppose.

Dizziness, headache, low oxygen level, purple lips, pale skin, confusion etc.

I'd watched 'Yellow Submarine' with the bottle under my nose, I was 17.

I was afraid of marzipan for years after working in a PCB plating factory
