Paraselsus (1493-1541) stated that all things are poisonous if the dose is sufficient.

Elements and compounds typically thought to be poisonous materials can arise naturally or can be man made.

Many elements in the earths crust are poisonous:

* Lead * Arsenic * Radon Some of these elements are poisonous only after processing to higher concentrations

* Beryllium * Thorium * Chlorine

Some plants and animals produce secretions that are toxic

* Poison ivy sap * Snake venom * Wasp stings * Cyanide * Strychnine

Some things are poisonous to specific individuals but not others

* Peanuts * Seafood * Latex Some things are man-made and toxic:

* Warfarin * Methyl Mercury * Nerve gas * Phosgene
