Is that the same series that had the woman applying for a private
nursing position, and finds out the man has been killing everyone who
applied?
They also had one with growth hormone experiments resulting in giant
worms that killed everyone :)

Very possibly, there were lots of stories written just for the show by a
handful of writers, along with many adaptations of well-known stories
(Jekyll & Hyde, for example).

LOL. Some of the ideas were out there. There was one recently where
trained rats were used as a murder weapon. Except that it went wrong.

I always liked the idea of the homeopath killer. Dilute some penicillin
10^100 times, then pour it in someone's drink. Three days later, he's dead
of random untreatable infections, and nobody can tell where they came from.

I wonder if there's an episode with that premise. With as many as there
are, I wouldn't be surprised. :-)
But it could take me 9 years to listen to them all at the rate I'm going
(1-3 a day once every couple of weeks). Actually, at that rate, it could
take much longer. :-)

Yes, if you believe this psuedoscience, highly dilute penicilin would
act as an extremely potent antibiotic - which would have no real
detectable effects at all. (Other than a 30% reduction in your ability
to digest certain nutriants...)

No. To make a homeopathic remedy, you dilute something that causes the
symptoms. So to make a cure for poison ivy, you dilute something that
irritates your skin. The idea being (I think) that your body naturally
fights off the very dilute stuff and in so doing cures the poison ivy, too.
So dilute penicillin causes infections.

Sounds highly counterintuitive.

Dilute penicillin . . . causes your body to develop an immunity to
penicillin?

OK. I must be thinking of a different (but equally stupid) branch of
psuedoscience. :-)
