All are toxic, even weak acids, but concentration or intake will determine HOW toxic

[cit. Paracelsus (1493-1541), translat. wikipedia:

"All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."

Or, more commonly "The dose makes the poison."

end cit.]
