Magical Special Thanks: to amet and sephyelysian whose comments during A Study in Pink confirmed what all sensible people already knew about those poison pills…
Setting: This is immediately after A Study in Pink.

                   “Did you save the pills?” John asked.
                   “No. As a matter of fact I was rather angry and threw mine.”
                    “That’s a pity. Doubt Lestrade will let you test them now, and I’d love to know what he was immune to.”
                   Sherlock chewed. “Hmm?”
                   “What he was immune to, what the killer was immune to.”
                   “John. What are you talking about?”
                   “Well, you knew both the pills were poisoned.” John paused. Sherlock was staring. “Right?”
