Depends on the type of toxin, the method of action of the toxin and the amount of toxin ingested. Some poisons can be absorbed through the skin (dermally) as well.

Neurotoxins for example, attack the nervous system; this can cause paralysis, and death normally through asphyxiation or heart failure.

Others may may target specific organs or organ groups in the body.
