Most likely anyone in Virginia and North Carolina. BYC member in southern VA had 2 feet. Didn't lose power thankfully. I think parts of Tennessee might have had snow or ice.

The "I drank the tea and it's gone" method. Seriously? I see no harmful effects from an occasional cup of sassafras tea.
It (safrole) occurs naturally in a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper, and herbs such as basil. In that role, safrole, like many naturally occurring compounds, may have a small but measurable ability to induce cancer in rodents. Despite this, the effects in humans were estimated by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to be similar to risks posed by breathing indoor air or drinking municipally supplied water.

I also found publications that claimed a cup of sassafras teas contained 4.5 times the amount that researchers think to be poisonous.

If that is true, then I should have been dead a long, long time ago.
