Attitude: What to do when others say “BS” to you.

Duh! An idiot knows that genetic differences influence the response to toxins.

Do you know what LD_50 means?

If someone wanted to kill someone else, he would hardly use the LD50 dosage. Much more likely to try LD99.9 or greater. At that, would you still insist that the intended victim's genes matter much? . . . Yea, I suppose so.

Genetics determine both what substances are toxic for an individual as well as what effects varying dosages have.

LD50 is used to account for the genetic variability of reaction to a toxin across a population.

Of course a very high would croak off most of a population.

But the question was concerning the effect of genetics on toxicant resistance.

D'uh!

What a trivial derail!
