In the past week I've seen an episode of an American crime drama series and read a novel both, of which featured nicotine as the murder weapon. The plots both made the points that concentrated nicotine is highly toxic, that it's readily available due to home mixing, and that it's not tested for in a 'normal' tox screen. In one case the murderer was caught, in the other not. If anyone is interested in this method of disposal I'll refer you to the relevant sources  |

Even with USA 10% legal concentrations, about the only way would be by injection.

Was it intravenously administered, as orally it is a powerful emetic and the victim would just puke?

Despite all the reports of nicotine poisoning I believe there is only one where it proved fatal (only due to other complications?). All I did was get a little 72mg concentrate on my finger and without thinking licked it. You know that feeling you get around the jaw/ears when you're just about to throw up.......? Most of the reports seem to be parents panicking. |

The novel I read a few years ago, which featured nicotine poison, the solution was injected between the toes  They got away with it! |

I'm sure I saw one once where nicotine was used as the murder weapon, but it was nicotine used for making pesticide and the victim was a keen gardener. They got caught  |

Nicotine would be a excellent poison to murder someone with as long as you could get it in high concentrations. For pure 100% nicotine you would need 1 drop, better add 2 to make sure  Breaks down in the body within 24 hours. Purification of nicotine from nic base is not a hard process. However.... ...carbon monooxide poisoning is the least likely to be detected by an autopsy. *Just Saying* |
