Like Linda wrote earlier, that is an excellent idea. I think it would be a great opportunity for some friendships and me learning a skill that I'm otherwise failing to pick up. Thank you for the idea!- PlaidBattleAxe

I think it must be like when people are exposed to small doses of other poisons they can build up a resistance/tolerance without getting much if any of a reaction and the three of you are the better off because of it.
