Is arsenic a toxic element and used in medicines rat posion?

Arsenic hasn't been used in rat poisons in industrialized nations in many years. The reason for this is that arsenic, like other heavy metals, accumulates in the victim and in the environment. As such, it's an overly dangerous toxin. A "Toxic element" doesn't take into account the fundamental concept in toxicology -- dosage. Most anything is toxic in sufficient dosage. Arsenic, while indeed considered a dangerous poison, appears in trace amounts all over the environment. However, when someone asks me "What's a toxic element that was used in rat poison?", they usually want "Arsenic" as the answer. So, if this is for a test you're taking -- Yes:}.
