I read further that the paste had 60% alum, but I don't know if that is actually the case. Normal flour paste recipes call for just a smidgen. Alum in small quantities is used in pickling as well, but in large quantities can be fatal. I really think the poor guy died from other causes since he was described as very skinny and in poor physical condition; basically suffering severe starvation in a newspaper article accompanying the photo, but who really knows? I thought it would make for a humorous post.

Apparently there were no Tide Pods to try.
