How do you use poisonous substances?

Very carefully... There are many poisons that we use on a regular basis. Chlorine is a poison, but it is found in chlorine bleach. It helps make the bleach work.

Sodium is a poison, and as noted above, so is chlorine, but together they make sodium chloride, usually called salt. there are hundreds of other examples that could be given, but it would be impossible to include them all.
