It mentions that Zinc Phosphide makes rats die outside, but, it doesn't

so, it would work in the stomach anyway (which has HCL & water inside).

This article on how Zinc Phosphide works doesn't cover thirst at all:

Neither does this article on the same topic:

This one *does* mention thirst though:

But, all in all, I suspect your dealer is making stuff up
(but maybe it's a different chemical that induces that thirst?).
