Help What would a lethal dose of pesticide be?

[CaliforniaGirl]

I'm just curious. Like the respective lethal doses of the most common and easily obtained chemicals under the category pesticide.

While this is a non method, u wanted data, so here goes:

It depends on the pesticide (milligrams per kilogram, according to a skim read of the paper)

PS: This is likely data from rats, which might not align for humans, and doesn't mention how painful death will be:

PS 2: I think salt is there for reference, and *yes* salt can be used to poison the land for long periods of time, and too much salt can be toxic to ppl too, just not a pleasant way to go.
