Actually it seems to be a bit of a myth that KCl is a poison.

"Orally, potassium chloride is toxic in excess; the LD50 is around 2.5 g/kg
(meaning that a lethal dose for 50% of people weighing 75 kg (165 lb) is about
190 g (6.7 ounces)). However, this is not far from oral toxicity of sodium
chloride (table salt), of 3.75 g/kg"
As for Bob Crow who I haven't commented on yet - I'm tired of this "'e was
a good ole geezer 'n' looked after 'is own" schtick. Thats what they said about
the Krays. He might have loved his mum and come out with a few well timed
wisecracks, but this was the **** who frequently brought London to a halt so
his already overpaid bone idle members could get even more money for doing sod
all, plus he was an unreconstructed communist who idolised that piece of scum
Chavez. Also looking at the state of the fat sod in pictures he only had
himself to blame for his heart attack.
I'm sure his family will miss him but I for one won't. Perhaps without him
some sensible negotiations can take place at TfL in the future.
