to mithridatize: to get immunised against a poison, by taking very small, then graduated, doses of it... - comes from the king Mithridate VI, a fierce opponent to the romans. since his life was menaced because of his position, he used to mithridatize himself... until he got beaten. he couldn't accept defeat, so he tried to commit suicide by poisoning himself - unfortunately, it didn't work because he was already immunised, so he had to ask a guard to transpierce him with his sword... ironic heh :) |

ohhhh thats cool. i think snake handlers do that as well....they take snake venom in small doses so if they get BIT they won't die......however they have to be careful with eggactly how much they give themselves!! *snake venom is expensive!* |
