Could someone please tell me if lead-contaminated spirits can kill
immediately or is death only the result of long-term exposure? Also, I
would appreciate references to articles dealing specifically with the
lethal effects of illicit spirits (toxins, lead, "signatures" ingredients).
I seem to recall a recent case in Kenya.

                                                Thank you, Fred Smith
