poisoning incidents

Poisoning incidents occur when harmful substances, such as chemicals, drugs, or toxins, enter the body and cause injury or illness. These can happen through ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, or injection. The effects vary depending on the substance and dosage, ranging from mild symptoms like nausea to severe consequences like organ failure or death. Prompt medical treatment is essential. Preventive measures include proper storage of hazardous materials, labeling, and awareness of potential risks to avoid accidental or intentional poisoning.
