Strychnine Update – August 18, 2026

The company manufacturing strychnine is having difficulties getting the raw material out of India and unfortunately are not going to be able to meet the deadlines for production for 2026. They are hopeful to get the raw material later this year and be able to distribute for spring of 2027.
