Wait. What?? That's wild.

Is it possible that this was purchased with the intention of using it as a sports supplement, but mistakenly the wrong "nitrate" was purchased? Nitric Oxide is used in sports, sodium nitrite is often used for curing meat!

But then again, if this stuff is being used for suicide, then I'm sure it's easy to know whether those 88 dead people are linked.

No, it’s not a mistake.

Details are withheld in the news articles to avoid promoting suicide, but this link gives some useful context: https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/toronto/2023/5/4/1_6384721.html
