Most often the victim of poisoning will appear natural in death. In effect, poisoning is murder in slow motion, as it may take a long period of time, depending on the dose and the selected poison employed as a weapon of death. The lethality of the poison is determined by the type of poison ingested, the concentration or degree of potency and the duration of exposure. Duration of exposure might be a one time event or over a period of time as in periodic, reduced, dosing that may result in an accumulative lethal dose. The most common, popular, poisons in order of use are Arsenic, Cyanide, and Strychnine Arsenic: A highly poisonous metallic element having three allotropic forms, yellow, black, and gray, of which the brittle, crystalline gray is the most common. Arsenic and its compounds are used in insecticides, weed killers, solid-state doping agents, and various alloys. Cyanide: Any of various salts or esters of hydrogen cyanide containing a CN group, especially the extremely poisonous compounds potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide. Strychnine: An extremely poisonous white crystalline alkaloid, C21H22O2N2, derived from nux vomica and related plants, used as a poison for rodents and other pests and topically in medicine as a stimulant for the central nervous system. Many prescription and non prescription drugs, when used in excess by a poisoner can result in severe illness or death for the recipient.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ Something to think about!
Poisons have been in use over the last 5000 years.
Poisons are one of the oldest forms of homicidal weapons developed by
mankind. History tells us that the Sumerians', residents of
Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) around 2500BC had an interest in
and knowledge of poisons. The Sumerians worshipped a diety, a God,
known as"Gula." She was the first known recorded spirit associated
with poisons.
Poisoning from antifreeze which today is usually ethylene glycol -- a clear, colorless, odorless liquid with a sweet taste -- that can produce dramatic and dangerous toxicity. Ethylene glycol is found most commonly in automotive cooling systems, and hydraulic brake fluid. In an industrial setting it is also used as a solvent and in a variety of processes. Many cases of ethylene glycol poisoning are due to the accidental ingestion of it by children. They may take in large amounts since the substance tastes good. Alcoholics may also drink it as a substitute for alcohol (ethanol). Ethylene glycol is itself relatively nontoxic. However, it is metabolized (changed) in the body by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase into glycolic acid, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid, which are highly toxic compounds. Renal failure, acidosis and hypocalcemia may follow the intake of ethylene glycol. There can be widespread tissue injury in the kidney, brain, liver, and blood vessels. The result can be fatal.
Many
deaths, perhaps the death of your loved one or friend, may have been
attributed to other causes even though their death may have been caused by
some form of a poison. Poisons are used to murder human beings because
the perpetrator feels that they have a better chance of avoiding
arrest and/or conviction. Many poisons are colorless, odorless, tasteless,
chemically stable, and difficult to detect. They are readily soluble and their effect is
often delayed allowing the perpetrator time to escape the crime scene.
If those who are now buried could raise their hands to tell us they were
poisoned to death the number of raised hands would probably shock you. Why?
Because some poisons are very difficult to detect and perpetrators,
poisoners, have become more sophisticated. The science of current
Toxicology has evolved to a level of poison detection that exposes illness
and death attributed to the ingestion of poison or poisons. The most popular poisons in order
of use are Arsenic, Cyanide, and Strychnine.
There are many, many, others and the perpetrator or poisoner will usually resort to the
poison that is easiest to obtain.
