poisons

Poisons are substances that can cause harm or death when they enter the body, either through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. They disrupt normal biological processes, affecting organs and systems. Poisons can be natural, like certain plants or animal venoms, or man-made, such as chemicals. The severity of their effects depends on the type of poison, the dose, and the individual’s health. Symptoms can range from mild irritation to severe illness. Understanding poisons is crucial for safety, as many common household items can be toxic if misused. Always seek medical help if poisoning is suspected.
