Chlorine gas is no joke. In high school I was making it by running electricity through salt water and then diffusing the gas through pool water to chlorinate my parents pool. My cousin took a whiff when I was distracted and had to go the emergency room for breathing problems. Fortunately he recovered fully.

Why?

Like, what leads a teenager to do such things?

		Curiosity. I picked apart that component that made my shoes blink. It was very difficult to get it open, but the silver liquid in it was fun. Today I think that was mercury and that I probably shouldn't have done that.

		Are humans born with innate knowledge that some things are deadly to smell? Or are we born with an instinct to smell things to figure out if it’s good or bad?
