Not on purpose. I guess if it would attract a beaver I might

I hope they were treated. That could be fun. Arsenic makes for good times.

They used arsenic in the citrus industry for years. It makes the fruit sweeter. I probably have it all over my property

My 50 year old orange trees produce some very sweet oranges though............so I guess it's worth it

In all the times that I've gotten a mouthful of pressure treated sawdust, I've never once thought "Mmmm, almonds!" ....maybe I'm using the wrong brand!?

They no longer use arsenic in treated wood. These days it's mostly copper oxide and didecyldimethylammonium chloride. Tastes like pennies now

Actually, I've been around sawdust all my life, so I've tried both flavors. I don't really like either. If you want something that really tastes good, cut into a forty year old telephone pole.

With the new found popularity of ricin, good old arsenic will probably go by the wayside

I wonder if ricin would make my oranges taste better??

Or keep wood from rotting??

I prefer red oak and balsa. Better for my fingernails.
