| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As a result of industrialization and extensive use of chemicals, an increasing number of products used for everyday life are poisonous. The risk of being poisoned nowadays lies more in the accidental factor, where poison be induced or taken by accident. However, hospital and emergency facilities today are much enhanced and antidotes are more available. This book studies treatments of poisoning including antibody, antivenom, lavage, and chelation therapy.
