Search Results - Poison

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

In the context of biology, poisons are substances that can cause damage, illness, or death to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. Legally and in hazardous chemical labelling, poisons are especially toxic substances; less toxic substances are labelled "harmful", "irritant", or not labelled at all.

In medicine (particularly veterinary) and in zoology, a poison is often distinguished from a toxin and a venom. Toxins are poisons produced via some biological function in nature, and venoms are usually defined as biologic toxins that are injected by a bite or sting to cause their effect, while other poisons are generally defined as substances which are absorbed through epithelial linings such as the skin or gut.

Some poisons are also toxins, usually referring to naturally produced substances, such as the bacterial proteins that cause tetanus and botulism. A distinction between the two terms is not always observed, even among scientists.

Animal toxins that are delivered subcutaneously (e.g. by sting or bite) are also called venom. In normal usage, a poisonous organism is one that is harmful to consume, but a venomous organism uses poison to defend itself while still alive. A single organism can be both venomous and poisonous.

November 20, 2008

A carbon monoxide or CO detector is a device that alerts you to the presence of the toxic gas in the environment. A carbon monoxide detector will give you advanced warning before CO gases reach a dangerous level. Being exposed to low levels of carbon monoxide for several hours can be just as dangerous as exposure to high carbon monoxide level for just a few minutes. In order to detect the presence of this gas early, proper placement of carbon monoxide detectors is important. A carbon monoxide detector will alert you to excess poison in the air. It will allow you to quickly clear your hom... (read more)

4. Shallowness: A Slow Poison
November 10, 2008

In the world of instant coffee and instant-anything, Christians often fall into the trap of "instant-decision". Whenever they face a problem or a question, they often fire an instant-answer and then move away: no serious thought are ever involved. We never buy a dress just because of its colour alone or a book just because of its cover alone. A more detailed examination is a part of our lives and even the ordinary pen we choose does not escape such a test. But once we come to our spiritual life we usually forget all this. A Christian is expected to go deep into spiritual matters be... (read more)

5. Dangers of Fluoride in our Water - The Great Debate

I sometimes wonder what percentage of the population is aware of the ongoing fluoride debate. There’s absolutely a growing voice of dissent over water fluoridation, but how familiar is the average Joe with this subject. I know that most of my friends and family are not aware of it. I’ve never heard it brought up on any popular news television programs. It seems the majority of information is coming from radio programming, local news stations, activist groups, and scientific community organizations. Does that mean there’s not much to this debate, or are we on the precipice of this issue en... (read more)

13. Religious Stew - PC Poison in the Pot
September 26, 2008

With apostasy (falling away) running rampant in the church and PC’s impassioned call for diversity and tolerance in religion what are the implications for America? Let’s see. When Jesus asked a crowd of people who felt their religion justified them about what he would find at his second coming he said “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8) No one in the crowd answered him because the answer is understood. The answer is of course; no! So what replaces faith, what could possibly pre-empt faith in the gospel. The answer is unlikely and odd; i... (read more)
