POISON. An exact definition of the word
"poison" (derived through Fr. from Lat.
potio, potionem, a
drink;
i.e. a deadly draught) is by no means easy. There
is no legal definition of what constitutes a poison, and the
definitions usually proposed are apt to include either too much or
too little.

In popular language a
poison is a substance capable of destroying life when taken in
small quantity; but a substance which destroys life by mechanical
means as,
e.g. powdered
glass, is not, strictly speaking, a poison.
The subject of
toxicology forms one of the most important
branches of
medical jurisprudence. The
medical jurist should be familiar with the nature and actions of
poisons, the symptoms which they produce, the circumstances which
modify their working, the pathological results of their action, and
the methods of combating these.
Action of Poisons
Poisons may exert a twofold action.
.^ Any unauthorized or prohibited use of any Material may subject you to civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both, under applicable federal, state and local laws.- Bret Michaels Gets Taken Out at the Tonys | SPIKE 10 February 2010 12:38 UTC www.spike.com [Source type: General]
.^ "It's a rather slow-acting poison–it usually takes about 24 hours for a patient to succumb to its effects completely.
.^ "It's a rather slow-acting poison–it usually takes about 24 hours for a patient to succumb to its effects completely.
.^ "Well, I'd say the one marked ‘Drink Me' should be the poison and ‘Eat Me' should be the antidote.
The same may be said, in a less degree, of
the irritant poisons, especially the mineral irritants; but here
the symptoms sometimes so closely simulate those of natural disease
as to render the recognition of the administration of poison a
matter of difficulty. Hence an accurate acquaintance with the
remote specific effects of the various poisons is indispensable to
the medical jurist. The class of poisons which has been
administered or taken will thus be suggested to his mind by the
observation of the symptoms; and not unfrequently the specific
poison taken will be suspected.
.^ He knew she was worried, that she'd just sat at his bedside for eight solid hours, that without an antidote to whatever poison was coursing through his system, he'd probably be dead before the sun set.
Modifying Circumstances
The ordinary action of a poison may be greatly modified by the
largeness of the dose, by the
slate of
aggregation, admixture, or of chemical
combination of the poison, by the part or membrane to which it is
applied, and by the condition of the patient.

All
barium salts, again, are
poisonous, except the quite insoluble sulphate. The simple
cyanides, and many double cyanides, are highly poisonous; but
yellow prussiate of potash, which is a double
cyanide of
iron and
potassium, is almost without action upon the
system. The part or
tissue to
which a poison is applied greatly effects the activity of a poison,
owing to the varying rapidity with which absorption takes place
through the cutaneous, mucous and serous surfaces, and by the other
tissues of the body. Curare, an arrow poison, may be swallowed in
considerable quantity without appreciable result, whilst a minute
quantity of the same substance introduced into a
wound is speedily fatal.
Idiosyncrasy has an important bearing in
toxicology.

On the other hand, diseases which impede
the elimination of a poison may intensify its effects.
The
evidence that a poison has been administered is
based upon the symptoms produced, on the appearances met with in
the body after death, on the analysis of articles of food and
drink, of excreta and ejecta, and of the organs of the body after
death, and on physiological experiments made with substances
extracted from the same articles.

In all such cases the aid of the analytical chemist
must be called in either to confirm well-founded or to rebut
ill-founded suspicions.
The
mode of treatment to be adopted in the case of
poisoned persons varies greatly according to the nature of the
poison. The first indication, when the poison has been swallowed,
is to evacuate the stomach; and this may usually be done by means
of the stomach-
pump when the
poison is not of the corrosive class; or the stomach may be gently
washed out by means of a
funnel and flexible
siphon-tube. In many cases
emetics are valuable. Antidotes and
counter-poisons may then be
given. The former are such substances as
chalk to neutralize the mineral acids and
oxalic acid; the latter
have a physiological counteraction, and are such as atropine, which
is a counter-poison to morphia. These may usually be administered
most effectively by hypodermic injection. The stomach may to a
certain degree be protected from the injurious effects of irritants
by the administration of mucilaginous drinks; alkaloids may be
rendered sparingly soluble by means of astringent substances
containing
tannin; and pain
may be relieved by means of opium, unless contra-indicated by the
nature of the poison. The effects of the convulsant poisons, such
as
strychnine, may be
combated by means of the inhalation of
chloroform.
The
classification of poisons is a matter of
difficulty.

Poisons may in the manner indicated be
classified as (I)
Corrosives, (2) Irritants, (3)
Neurotics, and (4)
Gaseous Poisons. i.
Corrosives. The typical member of this class is corrosive
sublimate, the soluble chloride of
mercury. In it are included
also the concentrated mineral acids (sulphuric, nitric and
hydrochloric); oxalic
acid; the
alkalies (potash, soda, and ammonia) and their
carbonates; acid,
alkaline, and corrosive salts of the metals (such as bisulphate of
potash,
alum,
butter of
antimony and nitrate of silver); also
carbolic acid.
The symptoms produced by the mineral acids and the alkalies are
almost altogether referable to local action; but some corrosive
poisons, such as carbolic acid, produce, besides a local action,
remote and specific constitutional effects. The symptoms of
corrosive poisoning are marked and unmistakable, except in infants.
Immediately on swallowing the corrosive substance, an acid,
caustic or metallic burning
sensation is experienced in the mouth,
fauces, gullet and region of the stomach, and
this speedily extends over the whole belly; as a rule vomiting
speedily follows. In the case of the mineral acids, and in oxalic
acid poisoning, the vomit is so acid that if it falls upon a
marble or
concrete floor effervescence
ensues. No relief follows the evacuation of the stomach. The
ejected matters contain blood, and even fragments of the corroded
walls of the
alimentary canal. The belly becomes
distended with
gas and horribly
tender. High
fever prevails. The mouth is found to be
corroded. Death usually ensues within a few hours; or, if the
patient survives, he or she may perish miserably, months after the
poison was taken, through
starvation consequent upon the gradual
contraction of the gullet, brought about by its corrosion and
subsequent healing.
The treatment of corrosive poisoning consists in very gently
emptying and washing out the stomach by means of a soft siphontube.
The stomach-pump cannot be used with safety in consequence of the
weakening of the walls of the stomach by corrosion. Demulcents and
opiates may be subsequently administered. After death from
corrosive poisoning the walls of the stomach are found corroded and
even perforated.
i.
Corrosive Sublimate. - Here all the signs and
symptoms of corrosive poisoning are produced in their severest
form. A
grain or two of this
poison may prove fatal. Fortunately there is an efficient antidote
in white of
egg, the albumen of
which, if administered at once, renders the
salt insoluble. The eggs should be divested of
their yolks, beaten up with water, and given promptly, repeatedly,
and abundantly, followed by emetics.

Workers in mercury, such as water-gilders,
looking-glass makers, and the
makers of barometers and thermometers, are apt to suffer from a
peculiar form of shaking palsy, known as "the trembles," or
mercurial tremor.
.^ And to those who also suffer from diabetes, he urges, "Accept that you have the disease.- Poison Rock Band 23 January 2010 12:31 UTC www.squidoo.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
The victim is affected with tremors
when an endeavour is made to exert the muscles, so that he is
unable, for instance, to convey a glass of water to the lips
steadily, and when he walks he breaks into a dancing trot. The
treatment consists in removal from the mercurial
atmosphere,
baths, fresh
air, and the administration of iron and other
tonics.
2. Mineral Acids. - These are oil of
vitriol or
sulphuric acid, aqua fortis or
nitric acid, and spirit
of salt or hydrochloric (muriatic) acid. These, when taken in a
concentrated form, produce wellmarked symptoms of corrosion. When
they are diluted, the symptoms are those of an irritant poison.
Nitric acid stains the mouth and skin of a yellow colour. The
treatment consists in the administration of the alkalies or other
carbonates, chalk,
whiting, or even uncoloured
plaster scraped off the walls
or
ceiling, with the view of
neutralizing the acid.
3. Oxalic acid is a
vegetable acid. When taken in the state of
concentrated solution it acts as a corrosive, but when diluted as
an irritant. But it also exerts a specific effect, killing the
patient by cardiac
syncope
not unfrequently within a few minutes.
.^ If it had been someone else that LeBarge had asked Rick to kill in order to save his brother's life, Town was almost certain that person wouldn't still be walking around or breathing.
The treatment
consists in promptly administering an emetic, followed by chalk,
whiting, or any substance containing carbonate of
calcium. The alkaline
carbonates are valueless, for the alkaline oxalates are almost as
poisonous as oxalic acid itself.
4. The Alkalis
Caustic potash and caustic soda produce symptoms resembling
those of the mineral acids, except that purging is a usual
accompaniment.
5. Carbolic acid when taken in the form of a
concentrated liquid acts as a corrosive, causing whitening and
shrinking of all the animal membranes with which it comes in
contact.
.^ "It's a rather slow-acting poison–it usually takes about 24 hours for a patient to succumb to its effects completely.
A curious
phenomenon - black or
dark green urine - is commonly observed after the administration of
this poison. Saccharated
lime-water, diluted and drunk
freely, and a solution of sulphate of soda are perhaps the most
useful remedies.
2.
Irritant Poisons. Irritant poisons are of two
classes - metallic irritants and vegetable and animal irritants,
these latter being for convenience grouped together.
.^ They were also usually accompanied by an enormous bill that A.J. ultimately ended up being responsible for.
An irritant is a substance which causes inflammation of the part to
which it is applied - usually the alimentary canal. Arsenic is by
far the most important of the metallic irritants. Other irritants
are the moderately diluted acids, many metallic salts, such as
those of antimony,
lead,
copper,
zinc
and
chromium.
Elaterium,
gamboge, aloes,
colocynth and
croton oil are good
examples of vegetable irritants; and
cantharides of animal irritants. Animal and
vegetable food when decomposed, or infested with certain organisms
known as bacteria, may produce violent irritant symptoms.
.^ "It's a rather slow-acting poison–it usually takes about 24 hours for a patient to succumb to its effects completely.
Usually, after an interval, greater or less according to the
specific nature of the irritant swallowed, a burning pain is felt
in the mouth,
throat and
gullet, with a sense of constriction of the parts, and followed by
burning pain in the region of the stomach. This is increased, and
not alleviated, by pressure, a
mark which serves to distinguish
the attack from one of ordinary
colic.
Nausea, vomiting and thirst ensue, speedily
followed by distension of the whole
abdomen, which is exceedingly tender to the
touch. Ordinarily the vomiting is followed by profuse
diarrhoea. Should the
poison not be speedily eliminated in the vomited and faecal
matters, inflammatory fever sets in, followed by collapse; and
death may ensue in a few hours.
1. Arsenic is a specific irritant poison. Almost all
the compounds of this metal are poisonous. The term "arsenic" is,
however, most commonly applied, not to the metal itself, but to its
lower
oxide, arsenious oxide,
which is also known as
white arsenic. By whatever channel
arsenic is introduced into the system, it invariably affects
specifically the stomach and intestines, causing congestion or
inflammation. The common sources of arsenical poisoning are the
taking of white arsenic, which causes acute poisoning, and the
inhalation of
dust from arsenical
wall-papers and textile fabrics, whereby a chronic form of
poisoning is induced.
The symptoms and treatment of arsenical poisoning are described
under Arsenic (q.v.).
Arsenic-eating, or the ability of some persons to take
relatively large doses of arsenic habitually, is a well-established
fact. The cause of this singular
immunity from the ordinary results of arsenic
is unknown.

Chrome yellow, or
lead chromate, is a powerful irritant poison. All chromates are,
indeed, irritant poisons. (See
Lead Poisoning.)
3. Copper. -
The soluble salts of copper, such as blue vitriol (the
sulphate) and
verdigris
(subcarbonate and subacetate), are emetic and irritant salts. Their
emetic effects usually, but not invariably, secure their prompt
rejection by the stomach. Occasionally fatal effects have resulted
from their administration. Copper becomes accidentally mixed with
articles of
dietary in a
variety of modes. It is also used for improving the colour of
preserved fruits and vegetables. Its deleterious properties when
thus used in minute quantities have been both asserted and denied.
There is, however, a large body of evidence in favour of the at all
events occasional poisonous effects of minute quantities of
copper.
4. Zinc salts and barium salts, except the
quite insoluble barium sulphate, are irritant poisons; and barium
compounds act also upon the central nervous system.
5. Chromates, e.g. bichromate of potash, are violent
irritants. Chrome yellow, or lead chromate, has already been
mentioned.
Of the two chief forms of the elements - the yellow or ordinary
and the red or amorphous - the former only is poisonous. Rarely
there is met with a chronic form of poisoning among workers in the
material, arising from the inhalation of phosphorus vapours. Its
special characteristic is a peculiar
necrosis or death of the bony structure of the
lower
jaw. Acute phosphorus
poisoning is more common. Phosphorus is used fot tipping matches,
and is also the basis of several
vermin destroyers.
(See
Phosphorus and
Match.)
7. Vegetable
Irritants. - These produce drastic purgative effects.
Frequently the nature of the illness may be ascertained by the
discovery of portions of the vegetable substance - recognizable by
the
microscope - in
the matters ejected by the patient.
8.
Cantharides. - The administration of cantharides
(q.v.) is followed by vomiting, purging, strangury, or even entire
inability to pass the urine. In the ejecta portions of the shining
elytra or wing-cases of the fly may often be recognized. There is
often great excitement of the sexual proclivities. The active
principle of the fly, cantharidin, may be extracted from suspected
matters by means of chloroform, and the
residue left after the evaporation of this
blisters the
lip or any tender
mucous surface to which it is applied. Demulcent remedies, with
opiate enemata and injections, afford the best relief by way of
treatment.
3.
Neurotics. i. Prussic or Hydrocyanic Acid. -

In the pure state it is said to kill with
lightning-like rapidity. It
is met with in commerce only in a dilute state. In Great
Britain two kinds of acid are
commonly sold - the pharmacopoeial acid, containing 2% of anhydrous
prussic acid, and
Scheele's acid, containing 4 to 5%. Less than a teaspoonful of the
2% acid has caused death.

There is first a
very brief stage of difficult breathing, and slow action of the
heart, with a tendency for the
organ to stop in the state of
dilatation. With widely-dilated pupils of
the eye, the patient is then seized with violent irregular
convulsive movements. The
rhythm of the respiratory movements is
disturbed, and the countenance becomes of a bluish cast. The
patient now sinks to the ground with complete loss of muscular
power; and the third or asphyxial stage is reached, in which there
are slow gasping respirations, loss of pulse, and
paralysis of motion. Death
is frequently preceded by muscular spasms. The
foudroyant
character of the illness, and the speedy death of the patient,
coupled with the peculiar odour of the acid in the breath and
atmosphere around the body, seldom leave any doubt as to the nature
of the case. The treatment consists in inhalation of fumes of
strong
ammonia, drinks of
warm and cold water alternately,
friction of the limbs, and artificial
respiration. The subcutaneous injection of atropine, which acts as
a cardiac stimulant, may prove serviceable.
Other soluble cyanides, more especially cyanide of potassium, a
salt largely used in
photography and in the arts, are equally
poisonous with hydrocyanic acid. (See
Prussic Acid.)
2. Opium. - In
consequence of the extent to which opium, its preparations, and its
active
alkaloid morphia
are used for the relief of pain, poisoning by opium is of frequent
occurrence. It is largely used by suicides; and children, being
very susceptible to its influence, frequently die from misadventure
after administration of an overdose of the drug. The ordinary
preparations of opium are the drug itself, which is the inspissated
juice of the oriental
poppy, and
the
tincture, commonly
known as
laudanum. Opium
contains a variety of more or less active principles, the chief of
which is the alkaloid morphia, which is present in good opium to
the extent of about io % in combination with meconic acid, which is
physiologically inactive. Opium is largely used by Eastern nations
for smoking, and there is great discrepancy of opinion as to the
extent to which opium smoking is deleterious. The preponderance of
opinion is in favour of the view that opium smoking is a
demoralizing, degrading, and pernicious habit, and that its victims
are sufferers both in body and mind from its use. (See
Opium and
Morphine.)
3. Strychnine and
Strychnine-yielding Plants. - . alkaloids strychnine and
brucine, as well as all the
plants in which they are found, all act in the same manner, being
highly poisonous, and causing death after spasms of a severe
character.

Intelligence remains

hypodermic injection of digitalin, which is a counter-poison in its
action upon the heart. The root of aconite has been eaten in
mistake for that of

radish.
The belladonna or deadly
nightshade,
Atropa Belladonna,
contains an alkaloid, atropine, which is largely used by oculists
to procure dilatation of the pupils of the eye. The bright
scarlet berries of the plant
have been eaten by children, who are attracted b y their tempting
appearance. Belladonna produces dilatation of the pupils, rapid
pulse, hot dry flushed skin, with an eruption not unlike that of
scarlatina, soreness of the throat, with difficulty of swallowing,
intense thirst, and gay, mirthful delirium. The treatment consists
in evacuation of the poison by means of the stomach-pump, and the
hypodermic injection of morphia as a counter-poison.
.^ "You loved him," A.J. said simply, looking over what appeared to be some kind of order form or invoice for laboratory chemicals.

i.
Chlorine
and
bromine act as
powerful irritants. They provoke spasm of the glottis when inhaled,
and subsequently induce inflammation of the respiratory mucous
membrane, which may prove speedily fatal. Inhalation of diluted
ammonia vapour is the best remedy.
2. Hydrochloric or
muriatic acid gas and
hydrofluoric or
fluoric acid gas are irritating
and destructive to life. The former is more destructive to
vegetable life than even chlorine. They are emitted in many
processes of manufacture, and especially in the manufacture of
carbonate of soda from common salt by Le Blanc's process, in the
salt-
glazing of earthenware,
and in the manufacture of artificial
manures.
3. Sulphurous Acid Gas. - The gas given off by burning
sulphur is most suffocating
and irritating. Its inhalation, even in a highly diluted state, may
cause speedy death from spasmodic
closure of the glottis.
4. Nitrous vapours, or gaseous oxides of
nitrogen (except nitrous
oxide), are given off from galvanic batteries excited by nitric
acid; also in the process of
etching on copper. They produce, when diluted,
little immediate irritation, but are exceedingly dangerous, setting
up extensive and fatal inflammation of the lungs.
5. Ammonia gas is highly irritant, but does not often
prove fatal.
6. Carbon dioxide
gas is heavier than atmospheric air, is totally irrespirable
when pure, and is fatal when present in large quantities in
respired air. It is given off from burning
fuel, accumulates in pits and
wells as choke-
damp, and constitutes the deadly afterdamp of
coal-mines. It is also formed during
alcoholic
fermentation, and hence accumulates in
partially filled vats in which fermented liquors are stored. When
it is breathed in a concentrated state, death is almost
instantaneous.

^ They could hear A.J.'s sputtering cough in the background, and Rick knew that he didn't have long before A.J. would be slipping into eternal darkness as LeBarge just had.
In these cases there is true
asphyxia; but
carbonic acid is
also a narcotic gas.
.^ His face was flushed and his usually clear blue eyes looked cloudy, distant.
^ "Apparently just long enough to figure out what kind of personal betrayal would be the most fitting."
The proper
treatment is removal from the foul atmosphere, alternate cold and
tepid douches to the
chest,
friction of the limbs and
trunk,
and artificial respiration. When animation is restored the patient
should be put to
bed and kept quiet, but should be
carefully watched in case of relapse.
7. Carbon monoxide gas is given off by burning
charcoal and other forms of
fuel, mixed with carbonic acid.
.^ The climb down through the skylight had been less than graceful and more than a little noisy.
^ He trusted them more than he trusted most of his officers, and there was no one he would rather have backing him up when it came down to the wire.

An atmosphere containing
less than i % of carbonic oxide would doubtless be fatal if
breathed for many minutes. Carbonic oxide forms with haemoglobin,
the red pigment of the blood, a bright scarlet compound. The
compound is very
stable, and
the oxide cannot be displaced by atmospheric oxygen. Hence the
blood after death from the inhalation of carbonic oxide is of a
bright arterial
hue, which it
retains on exposure to air.
8. Coal-gas acts as an asphyxiant and narcotic. The
appearances met with after death - more especially the fluid state
of the blood - are similar to those observed after death from
carbonic oxide gas, which is a constituent of coal-gas, and to
which the chief effect of coal-gas may be due.
9. Sulphuretted hydrogen gas is highly poisonous by
whatever channel it gains access to the body. In a concentrated
form it produces almost instant death from asphyxia. Even in a
diluted state it produces colic, nausea, vomiting and drowsiness.
This may pass into insensibility with lividity and feeble
respiration. The skin is cold and clammy, or bathed in
perspiration. The red
blood corpuscles are disintegrated. The treatment consists in
removal from the contaminated atmosphere, friction to the surface
of the body, warmth, and the administration of stimulants. The
inhalation of chlorine gas has been recommended on chemical
grounds; but it must be remembered that chlorine is itself
poisonous.
10. Anaesthetics. - Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, and
the gases or vapours of other anaesthetic substances, such as
chloroform, may, if improperly administered, produce death by
asphyxia, and perhaps otherwise. Obviously, as a rule, medical
assistance is at hand. The treatment consists in artificial
respiration, and the use of galvanic current.
11.
Vapours of Hydrocarbons. - The volatile vapours of
the natural hydrocarbons known as benzoline,
petroleum, &c., are poisonous when
inhaled for lengthened periods. (T. S.*)
