Crazy Florida man arrested who also happened to have a PhD in chemistry

It tells you what chemical he used.

Just to point out, he wasn't arrested for doing home chemistry, but for injecting methadone under his neighbors' door to make them sick.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

This is a fishy one.
Methadone or hydrocodone are not as insanely potent as fentanyl. Nor would they be aerosolized by something as primitive as a hypodermic needle being
squirted under a door. How did it affect the victims? Let's assume he had it dissolved in some kind of solvent, which when evaporated left a white
powder on the floor. Were they walking barefoot and didn't wonder why a mysterious white powder was sticking on their feet?

I'd guess it was a mixture of crap, and we're not getting the full list of it. Just the two the journalists had hear about.

Even if they were just smelling the solvent, it doesn't make this behavior any less psychotic.

This was entirely creepy (to put it mildly), but that chemical analysis does not make much sense to me. Maybe the police just did a Marquis test and
got some color formed and decided that was what was in there. I suspect that analysis is wrong.
