Apollo: One gas environment?

There had to be something, at some level.
Consider teh case of the Bezoar Stone. A Bezoar Stone is something
that, when you put it into a goblet of Wine, will neutralize any
poison dissolved in the Wine. (And thus highly prized by Kings &
such). And in fact, Bezoar Stones exist. What they are is Calcified
Goat Hairballs, which remain in the stomach of a Goat until, well, you
can open up the goat to get them. That in and of itself wasn't so
odd, folks had lots of odd ideas, in those days, The really strange
thing is that it works. In an acidic environment, such as wine, the
calcium in the Goat Hairball will bind up Arsenic, which was the most
commonly used poison. One has to winder about the test program,
though.


So the vessel with the hairball should hold the drink of which you must
be careful? :-)
