An Iowa woman fixated on “harmful chemicals and other toxins” allegedly poisoned her husband with eyedrops, police say.

Daisy Zantjer, 39, stands accused of two counts each of administering harmful substances and domestic abuse causing bodily injury, according to Marion County court records obtained by Law&Crime.

Several years earlier, a series of blog posts warning about the prevalence of chemicals in everyday household products were published by a woman with the same name. The anti-toxin author and the alleged poisoner appear to be one and the same, police say.
