If ingested in a highly diluted form, the creature feels unwell for many weeks, often alongside being a little confused.Origin & Source
Life & Expiration
The toxin in the Redhorn milk is relatively stable as long as the water is not allowed to evaporate too much, since the toxin then becomes unstable and decomposes.
If kept properly stored the toxin can remain dangerous for a year or two.History & Usage

Refinement
Because the toxic compound can't easily be extracted or concentrated, refinement usually revolves around removing the distinctive smell and taste, in order to make it more difficult to detect.
This is a long process that is kept secret by those who have experimented long enough to figure it out.
The refined product is easily ten times more expensive then the untreated counterpart and it goes under the name "Redhorn water".
