-	~~==== Direct injection ====~~
-	Direct injection of cyanide in the victim's organism causes '''instant death'''. As such, it is extremely dangerous for a [[Contestant\|contestant]] to use an unidentified syringe, as he/she may be accidentally injecting himself/herself cyanide. [[Death\|Deaths]] caused that way are treated as '''suicides'''; if the syringe was unidentified, it will be treated as '''accidental suicide'''.
-
-	Alternatively, the [[Contestant\|contestant]] may attempt direct injection on an enemy, much like with a [[Weapon\|weapon]]. This is one of the reasons cyanide is particular among medical aids. If the contestant attempts this, it will be treated as an attack, and normal '''!mdice rolling''' rules apply, exactly as if the cyanide syringe was a weapon.<br />
-	Certain creatures are resistant to [[Poison\|poison]], because of inherent immunity, or are unable at all to absorb or be affected by poisoning. Refer to the individual articles of each encounter to know which creatures are immune to poisoning.
-
-	~~If the attack is a success and the creature is not immune to poison, death occurs immediately after injection, ensuring a swift and painless kill.~~
