It's not enough to watch out for electrical shock, dead vermin, or radiation exposure; you need to be aware of chemical poisoning.

Great article!
Though one of the commenters suggested an alternate theory:
"It's also possible that the 'crust or a crystalline residue' was simply some old mold, as some forms of it can cause acid like trips. Coupled with the fact that the device was found in a 'cold dark closet... damp, lightless, conditions' it most certainly points to the mold theory rather than old LSD. By the way LSD does not survive for 50 years in a damp environment, if anything it only a dry moisture free storage. Not saying that the LSD find is impossible, but reading in between the lines of the article, one can conclude otherwise."

There is a famous episode of poisoning by the ergot fungus that caused major mental illnesses back in a small town in France in 1951.
Apparently a wet spring led to mold on the wheat, and hundreds of people became ill. Some never recovered.
