* are the most important virulence factors
  - only cause of disease
  - other common cause of sudden death
  - result of a biological process
  - toxins, they say
  - transferred across trophic levels when predation takes place
  - usually quite injurious
* associated with peanuts can be dangerous.
* attach themselves to the sodium.
* begin to accumulate in skin cells and skin health gradually declines.
* block absorption.
* build up in the body like rainwater in the barrel
  - on the cellular level, causing immune deficiencies and sensitivities
  - dying stomach lining
  - overnight and are heaviest in the morning
* burn at different temperatures and emit various fumes at each level of the heat process.
* can also biomagnify up the food chain or bioaccumulate
  - increase production of free radicals
  - cause muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders
  - come from many sources
  - disrupt body functions and place severe stress on our life-systems
  - form bipyramidial, cuboid, flat or round crystals
  - interfere with septic waste decomposition
  - only stay the same or increase
  - poison aquatic life, destroy their food supply, and deform fish larvae
  - result in non-regenerative anemia
  - to build up in our bodies, leading to chemical depletion
* cause allergic reaction
  - distress
  - food poison
* cause gastrointestinal distress
  - symptoms
  - human illnesses
  - infection
  - inflammation
  - irritation
  - mushroom poison
  - ocular irritation
  - oral inflammation
  - paralysis
  - physical symptoms
  - problems
* cause severe allergic reaction
  - gastrointestinal symptoms
  - shellfish poison
  - significant irritation
  - term effects
* circulate from paint, furniture, carpets, cleaning supplies, bug sprays.
* come from flaring up.
* concentrate in the head and viscera more than in the flesh.
* create a myriad of health problems for all ages, breeds and sizes of dogs.
* damage lungs
  - the body in an insidious and cumulative way
* enter the body in the same manner as germs.
* formed by the organism produce severe muscle damage, and mortality is high.
* generally are byproducts of the normal daily metabolic processes within our body.
* get into the body and trigger the immune system.
* harm animals
  - aquatic animals
  - specific frequencies
* impair development.
* including lead and insecticides can cause diarrhea usually with vomiting.
* induce acute inflammatory responses
* ingested in sublethal amounts can eventually add up to disease-causing amounts.

+ Poison: Health
  * In medicine and zoology, toxins and venoms are different from poisons. Toxins are the result of a biological process. Venoms are substances which the organism uses to harm other species. Certain organisms use venoms for hunting, or as a defense. If an organism is 'poisonous', such as many mushrooms, it is harmful to eat. If it is 'venomous', like snakes or honeybees, it has a harmful bite or sting. For some very deadly bites humans have developed effective antivenoms.
