This depends entirely on the type of rodenticide consumed, which in turn may well depend on where you are in the world.
Modern rodenticides in use in most industrialized nations nowadays are either blood thinners, (super-warfarins and such) or vitamin D enhancers, which cause calcification of the respiratory and circulatory systems. Vitamin D toxins tend not to show effects until they accumulate to toxic levels, then they operate swiftly, with a wide array of symptoms to extensive to describe here. Anticoagulant might manifest in non-lethal overdoses by easy bruising, bleeding from gums and mucus membranes, and such, but these symptoms are not exclusive to this toxin. If you have any thought your child may have ingested one of these toxins, call the Poison Hotline (see number below), your doctor, or an ER. These toxins may be nearly asymptomatic unless they're ingested at toxic levels, at which time the patient may be in danger. So act swiftly.
Other geographic areas may use any of the following toxin classes, or even more:
- Alkaloidal systemic and neural toxins -- Strychnine for example.
- Phosphorus -- systemic or corrosive depending on dosage and chemical.
- Organophosphates -- insect control neurotoxins.
- Heavy metals --arsenic for one.
- etc.
With this many types of toxin involved, it's beyond the scope of this answer to address every form of toxicity or the related symptomology. It's worth noting though that rat physiology is rather close the humans, in the way toxins work (which is why they're so often used to laboratory work). So if it poisons them, it has the potential to hurt humans as well.
