Damn. I wish i didnt have to wait until next week..
I had this discussion with someone earlier. When Gus was standing by the pool he popped some pill. Just before giving everyone drank the poison. I assume that was something to coat his stomach to keep the poison from absorbing into his blood before he could puke it up. Anyone else agree?
Yep, possibly activated carbon pills, just enough to absorb the poison until he could vomit.
From wiki - "Activated carbon is used to treat poisonings and overdoses following oral ingestion.
It is thought to bind to poison and prevent its absorption by the gastrointestinal tract. In cases of suspected poisoning, medical personnel administer activated charcoal on the scene or at a hospital's emergency department. Dosing is usually empirical at 1 gram/kg of body mass (for adolescents or adults, give 50–100 g), usually given only once, but depending on the drug taken, it may be given more than once. In rare situations activated charcoal is used in Intensive Care to filter out harmful drugs from the blood stream of poisoned patients. Activated charcoal has become the treatment of choice for many poisonings, and other decontamination methods such as ipecac-induced emesis or stomach pumping are now used rarely."
