Was thinking pure Alcohol. Would be worried if you had a load of that.

But anyway that is ruled out.

Its not alcohol so Im assume that covers all alcohols. Maybe we could find if its poison to drink by humans.

PhuckHugh22

Yes that was what i was asking. Ethanol is pure Alcohol. Which you ruled out.

It's only sometimes found in the human body - so perhaps we shouldn't concentrate on that too much, in case it's a rarity.

In summary:
A liquid
First letter A-L
Smaller than a wheelie bin (but could be bigger in volume) (could be a drop of something...)
Not man-made but man is involved
not organic
and sometimes found in the body.

Sometimes found in the body - if we imagine it has a cycle - part of this cycle is in the body

liquids....

water milk sodas, alcohols, blood, eye drops, certain medicines, oil, cooking oils, acids, bases, toxic waste slime? , soap, cooking oil, lubricants, magma.... liquid nitrogen.....all ruled out for one reason or another.

need to focus on this I guess....


tears? pee? diarrhoea lol? Stomach acid? Joint fluid? Vomit? Lymph?


Just musing...\

stomach acid is hydrochloric acid which starts with an acceptable letter. However it is almost always found in the body.

Pee/urine, synovial fluid, vomit, tears all start with the wrong letters.

Lymph is also always found in the body.

Is it a medicine or administered by medical personnel or put into the human body for medical reasons or a recreational drug or amniotic fluid?

quickbeam

Anything in the body, like blood, urine, tears, all would be found in a home though. So I think the bit that says "could" be in a human is probably going to be misleading.

maybe you missed this clue qb

Okay, but then if a person is found in a home, then this thing is also found in a home.

Kolido

Not organic would rule out much of the above I think.

Some medicines are not organic, for example lithium is a salt. Amniotic fluid is not living. lsd, ecstacy and crystal meth are not organic.

Chancer3001

Lsd not a bad shout. Does it fit with everything ?

Google tells me it's a crystal rather than a liquid in its pure form.

quickbeam

And it's not exactly natural with just a bit of input from man?

PhuckHugh22

Insulin could be a possibility I wonder

Ah QB, I would not consider that in a home

You do not find a spline in a home, nor lungs etc

Green&Red

Although home is where the heart is

Literally the exception that proves the rule

Are hormones alive? They’re proteins which are acids - so I guess not?

Which hormones might you only have in your body sometimes? Can you have no insulin in your body outside of exceptional circumstances like diabetes or starvation?

(None of this is a guess in the game obviously.)

FYI
Proteins cannot reproduce independently, thus are not alive

Green&Red

Also your body produces insulin naturally AFAIK

most normal medicines like calpol n stuff would be found in the home.

What about the saline solution that they put in a drip?

Its just a mix of salt and water...which occurs naturally...

First letter is not between a and l

Green&Red

IMO this is more widely known than saline

I’d say every adult in Ireland and all developed countries would know this name and give a stab at what it does
