Quintox Rat Rat and MouseBait: active ingredient, Choelcalciferol, known as Vitamin D3. This offers a different biological approach to killing rodents. Once a rodent eats Quintox, all feeding stops, unlike anticoagulants where feeding continues. The toxicant mobilizes calcium from the rodent's bones , producing hypercalcemia and heart failure. It acts faster than anticoagulants. FEATURES: Rodents can consume a lethal dose in a single day's feeding( 1/10 oz. -2.8 grams of Quintox can kill a mouse, while 1/4 oz.-7 grams is a lethal dose for a rat,) or they can accumulate smaller feedings through a couple of days.
Bait shyness doesn't occur much, because toxic symtpoms don't start until after a lethal dose is consumed.
The color is green.
Quintox may be used around homes, farms and commercial locations and is authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Yikes!!! It's supposed to help build and deposit bone in humans, and yet it leaches calcium from rodent bones?
And what's with the incorrect or different spelling?
The article (and others on the Web) talks about ``choelcalciferol''. I thought the correct spelling for Vitamin D3 was ``cholecalciferol''.
Thanks for posting this, jcb. This is pretty spooky.

It's a type-o, Tracy. We ALL make them. You do have the correct spelling.
The link has it spelled "cholecalciferol" and so does the FDA.

They don't tell you specifically how much D3 is in one pellet. A mouse may be getting a human dose of D3, which it could easily handle if it was the same size as a human, but I've never seen so large a mouse. If you did the math and gave a human the dose that a whale needs you might see a similar response.

I hate to think what size pill a whale would need.
