Mithridates, The Poison King
It has been suggested that Russian mystic Rasputin's survival of a poisoning attempt was due to mithridatism, but this has not been proven.
Indian epics talk about this practice as well. It has been said that, during the rule of the king Chandragupta Maurya (320–298 BC), there was a practice of selecting beautiful girls and administering poison in small amounts until they grew up, thus making them insensitive to poison. These maidens were called vishakanyas (visha 'poison' + kanya 'maiden'). It was believed that engaging in sexual activities with vishakanyas could result in the death of their partners, due to the exchange of poisonous body fluids. Vishakanyas were employed to kill enemies.

Mummies Found in Utah
Kentucky newspaper 1894

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 19—Charles A. Lang, an explorer from Pittsburgh, arrived in this city, Wednesday, with seven well preserved mummies discovered beneath the ruins of cliff dwellers' houses in southeastern Utah. These mummies are in an extraordinary state of preservation, which is accounted for by the entire absence of moisture from the atmosphere and earth in that district. Among the collection is a male of giant statue, two females and two boys. They are not bodies of the cliff dwellers, but of some race who lived before them. Their hair is reddish, instead of black, as with the cliff dwellers.
