Poisoning

Poisoning occurs when a harmful chemical or substance enters the body and is absorbed into the bloodstream. It can be accidental, intentional, or environmental, and it can range from mild to severe in its effects. Poisoning is one of the leading causes of death globally, and can cause a wide range of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and confusion. With appropriate medical attention, many cases of poisoning can be treated successfully. Increased public awareness of the dangers of poisoning and understanding of how to safely store and handle hazardous substances can help reduce the number of related deaths.
