Thanks, shame it got flagged for no good reason.

That discussion notes the lethal dose to be around 3-5g and the couple as having had a teaspoon which would be around this mass.

However, this theintercept.com source is the only one I could find that mentions a teaspoon as being their quantitative dose - even the original NBC report didn't give a specific number. So I wonder how reliable this information is.
