Rat Poison is a box of pest poison meant for rodents. It is a household item found in cleaning and kitchen spaces.
The box is dangerous to anyone who eats from it. A single dose adds enough poison to kill a survivor. It should be kept well apart from food in any stash.
Rat Poison is very common in janitor's rooms and in the counters of restaurants, bars and cafes.
Using
The box can be eaten from like a food item. Doing so raises the survivor's poison level by a fatal amount. The poison takes effect only once the eating action finishes. Cancelling the action before it ends avoids the effect.
The box holds about ten portions.
Locations
Janitor's rooms, bathroom shelves, gas storage, school storage and Zippee storage hold one about two times in three. Restaurant and shop counters are the next best place. Arena kitchens, bakeries, bars, Twiggy's Bar, break rooms, burger kitchens, butchers, cafes, cafeterias, candy stores and the Catfish kitchen each hold one about one time in five. It is a very common find.
