Lewis Risk's
A second risk that Lewis took was also during the trip was when a person was ill or sick they had tablets but they laced it with mercury and it was fatally poisonous. This was a big risk because people got sick on the expedition and mercury went through the body and could kill you.
Clark's Risk's
A second risk was he adopted the indian's guide children and put the indian guide back with his brother that split up. This is a big risk because the indian children may want there mom and they live different than other people and they eat and wear stuff differently
