Although, she was tempted to do it anyways, and the hay with anypony who had a problem with it.
This is a clopfic. It'll end up off anyway. Might as well be ahead of the curve.

Give her time...
"Poison Joke?" Applejack cried out, standing up and wiping at the seat of her pants. "Why in the name of Celestia would you mess with somethin' like that, sugar cube? Don't think what it did to us that one time is somethin' you'd forget."
Agreed.
"That's where the Heart's Desire comes in," Twilight continued with a grin. "It's supposed to be able to give a pony what is they want most in the world. So I was thinking that maybe by combining the two, I could create something beneficial to ponykind. A mixture that could possibly help regenerate lost limbs, or allow physically incapacitated ponies mobility again. Maybe even allow older ponies to live longer and be more active."
That could be very useful. But could also backfire easily.
The last one especially sounded nice. Applejack loved Granny Smith, and she was well aware that the old mare was getting up there in age.
I know the feeling.
A desire the old mare shared since she "ain't going nowhere 'til well after I get to meet Apple Bloom's babies."
Most people want grandkids, she wants to meet her great grandkids. Can't blame her.
"I need at least some sort of reaction so I can figure out of the antidote for Poison Joke on its own will work, or if I need to look into creating a new one. After that, I can continue research and testing until reaching the point where I can safely try it on volunteers."
Hm, idea, Celestia's been around for ages, and probably had a mad scientist phase, ask her for ideas or if she's tried this before. Couldn't hurt, she probably has a few records that may help.
I think I missed where she got 'exposed' at all... Or is one to assume leaning against the table did it?... or did I just somehow miss one detail in this prologue where she 'actually' came in contact with the stuff?
7454857 thought I made it subtle to the characters, so their not noticing would make sense, but obvious to the readers.
As she did, her hand smacked a loose vial, sending it rolling and leaving a trail of powder behind. Powder that Applejack's arm brushed through and that she set her boxes down on top of.
A small chuckle escaped Applejack as she grabbed the last box and started to follow Twilight to the kitchen, stopping to rub at one of her eyes as it itched for a second.
So, if it works through skin contact -- like Poison Joke did in the first -- she got some on her arm, and more would cover her hands when she picked up the last pie box. If, however, it needs to be absorbed through the bloodstream, her rubbing her eye would let it pass through the sensitive membranes around it.
This story...is just, Yes.
