Dose his tea, matron!

(Before It's News)

This is a bit of a late arrival for my one of my Royal Society of Chemistry podcasts, as I didn't get round to blogging about it when it was published – which is a bit of a shame, as we are talking potassium bromide, that compound of legend, that was allegedly put in the tea of the troops in an attempt to reduce their sexual drive.

That does seem to have been a myth, but it doesn't stop this simple compound having a rather juicy history. So pin back your ears, suppress your libido and take a list by clicking play below.
