I thought this was a neat fact about the medication I am on ((warfarin))

"Blood thinners" in humans
In 1939 a chemical called dicumarol was discovered in sweet clover, after it was noted that in cattle feeding on spoiled sweet clover silage developed bleeding problems. In 1948, a similar, but more potent synthetic compound, warfarin, was produced and introduced to the market as a poison for rodents (=rodenticide). Its name was derived from the original patent holder: Wisconsin-Alumni-Research-Foundation, plus the suffix "-arin" used for these types of chemical compounds. After a person uneventfully survived an attempted suicide in 1951 with massive dosages of warfarin intended for rodent control, it was discovered that Warfarin could be used as a blood thinner in humans.
