Mice In The Piano.

[dale r fox]

Jim,
	the active ingredient in d-con is Warfarin Sodium.  Also known as
Coumadin.  A common anticoagulant given to people with clotting problems,
 artificial heart valves,  embolisms, TIA's,  heart attack histories, 
etc.  Doubt if your kids would eat it or if they could get a fatal dose
from a handful.   However,  Warfarin reacts with so many other common
drugs that small amounts of it could cause potentially serious problems, 
so probably best kept away from the kidlets. Rodents,  on the other hand,
 bleed to death with a full tummy.  Hope your not eating.  Just thought
you might like to know,  it's not poison in the general sense of the
word.
