מניומין כנדוקא איגלי ליה בסתקא דדובשא אתא לקמיה דרבא אמר רבא
for whenever R'Papa, or R'Huna the son of R'Joshua, or any of the other Rabbis had some liquid that had been left uncovered they would pour it into brine.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And they would use the brine because the pungency of the brine would overcome and render harmless any poison that might have been in the liquid.');"><sup>20</sup></span>
Jerusalem Talmud Terumot
“Five fluids are not endangered by being uncovered: Fish oil, muries143Cf. Demay, Chapter 1, Note 156., vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Rebbi Simeon forbids honey144Tosephta 7:12, Babli Ḥulin 49b. In both sources, R. Simeon forbids all five fluids.. The Sages agree with Rebbi Simeon if it was seen pecking145They will agree that snakes sometimes act in a perverted way but do not agree that this is enough for a general prohibition (loc.cit. 144)..” Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappos had an uncovered flask of honey in his hand. Before he could ask, it broke apart146The next paragraph will show that this was a miracle to save his life..
