used at a moment's notice would be much more difficult, and frankly out of my area of expertise, but testing the intragastric mixing method would be incredibly dangerous. The only feasible way I can think of would be to test in the stomach of a freshly butchered monogastric animal, but I have yet to see a pig or even a chicken on this island, and I know nothing about the digestive tracts of the saurids or insects here.

I hiked to Caldera in the afternoon increasing my supply of Stoneflower, Roobrush, and chokeweed along the way, and I am camped in the foothills north of town among a stand of mostly-dead conifers (I suspect some sort of

beetle, as the site is shielded from the blight by a low ridge), writing while some distillations finish. I am going to have a kwama egg for dinner.
