Hmmmm. this a little thing thats bothering me...

Immunity to pathogens and poisons
What classifys as a poison? If I inject him with Cyanide or
EDTA, it tears appart the chemicals that make up his body.
sucks the calcium from bones, the iron from blood and
generally makes life chemisty uncomfortable.
The complex organic poisons like curare and snake vemon do a lot
sneakier things.
Thats Poisoning and He's immune

If I pour acid onto him, its doing the same trick but from the
outside. Is he immune? can he save? or does he BURN?

Are Drugs Poisons? they don't destroy the life process, they
work with it. Can Big H be knocked out, doped, Halluced, Maced?

And the best one...the background radiation that an average
human is exposed to over there 4 score and 10 does little.

But over 7000 years, H is gonna be suffering from cellular damage
from radiation poisoning...=)
