Anagram ‘bromide’
Ooooo – that’s quite interesting – just having a quick Google.
OK, I thought that was going to be really boring but – ‘Bromide is present in typical seawater (35 PSU) with a concentration of around 65 mg/l, which is around 0.2% of all dissolved salts. Seafoods generally have high levels of bromide, while foods derived from land have variable amounts.’
We all know what bromide was used for during the 2nd World War.
We know who surfs.
We know who eats a lot of seafood.
Just to set people’s minds at rest – ‘In some cases, bromide is available in a liquid form at pharmacies. It has been rumoured (in particular by British troops during world War II, who believed it was regularly added to their tea) that bromide can reduce incidence of erections for males (see anaphrodisiac), and this was actually its initial pharmacological use. However, such an action is common to all effective sedatives and not known to be especially particular to bromide.’
I think I’m turning into Nurse Myra – I’m comfortable with that.
