they're called MICROCAPSULES. My daughter has taken medicine every day of her life that I have to open and sprinkle onto applesauce because she's not old enough to swallow the whole thing, so that's how I know.

Why do you want to know, I'm curious?

I'm writing a story about a mom who slowly poisons her kid by putting microcapsules filled with cyanide in her food.

Microcapsules filled with cyanide or made of cyanide?

filled?

I had myself a little confused , wasn't sure if the microcapsule was the shell or the balls inside
Microcapsule: A small, sometimes microscopic capsule designed to release its contents when broken by pressure, dissolved, or melted.

my understanding now is that the gel cap contains many microcapsules.

Hmm... I was thinking the gelcap WAS the microcapsule. Maybe the microcapsule is filled with granules of cyanide?
Or I guess it could be a microcapsule filled with more microcapsules that are filled with granules of cyanide.

or both........the possibilities are endless! just think the microcapsules can contai super micro capsule that contain individual granules of chemical.......oh rejoice oh rejoice
