Natural Science
In our daily lives, there are many cases of poisoning symptoms caused by accidental ingestion of poisonous substances or contact with poisonous organisms. Incidents such as accidental ingestion of fugu and Narcissus, and food poisoning caused by raw meat (Campylobacter) occur almost every year. However, in recent years, poisoning symptoms caused by Anisakis have become a topic of conversation. This book first explains the definition of poison and the basics of its action in an easy-to-understand way for people who do not have knowledge of chemistry or pharmacology. For example, "What is the most unlucky poison on the earth?" and "Is it okay to lick potassium cyanide?" along with other miscellaneous information on poisons. In addition, it includes poisonous creatures such as fugu, bee and Ischaemum aristatum var. glaucum, plants and mushrooms such as Narcissus, hydrangea, aconite and kaentake, etc., parasites and bacteria such as Anisakis and Campylobacter that cause food poisoning, and narcotics and luxury items such as cocaine, cannabis, caffeine and nicotine that are highly dependent. This book contains the latest knowledge and miscellaneous information on poisons that you want to tell someone about.
