Pretty much anything (book pages, keyboard letters, floss or yarn, etc,) could be coated lightly with some kind of poison that would be absorbed through the skin (floss lickers and typists, beware!).

Of course I use scissors in all of the above and they could definitely be used for a weapon. In the quilting and embroidery I use needles and they could put out an eye/eyes or be slipped into a spine or an ear even and could have poison on the end that would take someone out. There are tons of other things that could be used, but I need to leave some for other folks to have to share.JaneThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641896113640285842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-1418008397910350162010-10-21T11:29:45.805-04:002010-10-21T11:29:45.805-04:00I love to cross-stich and I'm sure I could use...I love to cross-stich and I'm sure I could use my floss and my needles to do some serious damage to some one!
