So this poison spewed forty days and forty nights?

I'm seeing blame here placed squarely on the heads of members of the national media, essentially saying, if the media had given a damn, this poison would have halted. I fail to see how that is any kind of tolerable excuse. This is the sort of thing you're expected to know because you're paying attention.
