Tomaine And/or Flu Posted: 11-08-07 16:28pm
We have rust on our silverware and found
it AFTER eating with them. My uncle says I
might have a type of poison called tomain,
or tomane, or something like that.
Basically rust poison. I have flu-like
symptoms, (hence the reason I put this
post here).
does anyone know anything about this?

Tetanus. Caused by tetanus bacteria.
Usually due to a contaminated wound like
broken skin, stepping on a nail, etc. A
tetanus infection can result in "lockjaw".
Rust is iron oxide, the compound that
forms when iron or steel reacts with
oxygen. If you accidentally eat from
rusty silverware, the food may acquire a
metallic taste, but it won’t warrant a
trip to the ER. Just remember to clean the
forks and knives before the next use.
