Arsenic is a heavy metal and is toxic. This is why it is used in rat poison. If you work in an environment with arsenic it is a good idea to eat a diet rich in sulfur found in eggs, legumes, garlic, and onions.

Can arsenic make a drug test Negative?

Please tell me someone didn't tell you to take ARSENIC to pass a drug test. Arsenic will kill you if you so much as look at it crossways. It is lethal by ingestion or inhalation and it only takes a little bit to kill you. It is lethal if absorbed through the skin. It is one of the most dangerous things you will ever come in contact with so don't even joke about arsenic. There are worse things in life than failing a drug test, and getting killed by arsenic is very high on the list.

Is germanium similar to arsenic?

This is not a good question, because it's really unclear what "similar" means. They have roughly the same density. (Yes) Their chemical reactions are somewhat different. (No) One allotrope of arsenic is grey and metallic in appearance and could reasonably be mistaken for germanium in a cursory visual examination. (Yes) Arsenic sublimes, germanium melts. (No) And so on. In order to answer the question, you'd need to define specifically what your criteria for considering things "similar" is.
