Poisoning is when you swallow, inhale, touch, or inject poisonous chemicals, gases, or venom, which causes harmful health effects or even death. Poisoning can result from toxic substances like cyanide, paint thinners, cosmetics, button batteries, and cleaning products, which are not meant to be consumed. But sometimes, foods and medicine can also be poisonous. For example, eating poisonous mushrooms, food and water contaminated by chemicals, can also cause poisoning. Drugs if taken more than the prescribed dosage, can cause side effects. Examples include excess beta-blockers can cause breathing problems, coma, and taking large amounts of vitamins can cause liver problems. Some symptoms of poisoning are vomiting, dyspnea, confusion, vomiting, and redness around the mouth.
