“Which is Witch?” is a play on words between which and witch: a reminder that poison hazards are not always obvious at first glance, and that you do not need a witch to create an illusion of safety when it comes to poisoning. Would you, or even a child, be able to tell the difference between the bright colourful tablets and the candies? Or decide whether the glass contains disinfectant or iced tea? Or distinguish between the oleander and olive leaves? Poison safety should never be taken for granted. What looks safe may itself be an illusion.
