A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer system that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer.

When a ping of death is initiated, it is my understanding that the command used, i.e. "ping -l 65536" will cause an oversized ping packet to be sent to the host by inserting 65536 bytes into the ICMP data field. As the ping is sending, then ICMP makes an ICMP_ECHO_REQUEST and this ICMP_ECHO_REQUEST is 65536 bytes.
After analyzing health and nutrition data from nearly 400,000 Americans, researchers found that people who took multivitamin supplements had a small but significantly greater risk of premature ...
This means that half the women and more than half the men are not consuming the RDA for vitamin C.

The US Food and Nutrition Board set a tolerable upper intake level (UL) at 1,000 mg (1,500 IU) per day derived from animal models that demonstrated bleeding at high doses. [30] In the US, the popularity for vitamin E as a dietary supplement peaked around 2000, with popular doses of 400, 800 and 1000 IU/day.
