Poison

Any substance that can cause severe distress or death if ingested, breathed in, or absorbed through the skin.

Many substances that normally cause no problems, including water and most vitamins, can be poisonous if taken in too large of a quantity.

Poison treatment depends on the substance: if there are treatment instructions on the substance's container and you are sure it contained no other item, follow those directions immediately.

Always contact your nearest Poison Control Center if you are concerned about possible poison ingestion
