Poison

Poison is a substance that can cause harm or sickness when it enters the body, either through ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, or injection. It can interfere with normal bodily functions, damage tissues, or disrupt vital processes, potentially leading to illness or death. Some poisons are naturally occurring, like certain plants or animals, while others are man-made chemicals. The severity depends on the type, amount, and exposure route. Immediate medical attention is often needed if poisoning is suspected to prevent serious health consequences. Proper handling and safety measures are essential to avoid accidental poisoning.
