Some individuals ingesting 1–3 g of cyanide salts (about 9–27 mg/kg body weight as sodium cyanide for a 60 kg adult) have survived (ATSDR, 1991). Daily oral doses of 2.9–4.7 mg cyanide are generally considered to be non-injurious to humans, owing to the efficient detoxification of cyanide to thiocyanate (Cleven & van Bruggen, 2000). ................
