Only the bitter variety, called flowering almond and planted decorative purposes, has sufficent cyanide to harm you. The bitter almond has a pink flower. The sweet almond tree has white blooms and the fruit contains no cyanide. The nut has a strong bitter taste and it is dificult to ingest more than a single one. Even that could give you a mild stomach ache. Both varieties contain a chemical pre-curser to cyanide which can become poisonous under damp conditions. ...

Petrol is a hydrocarbon ( made of hydrogen and carbon). When it burns in plentiful of oxygen it form carbon di oxide gas and water vapours.

The green fruit is fine for the hens, you may wish to crush them up since they can be too hard for beaks to break through to get at the meat. Do not feed them the leaves or stalks of a tomato plant. ...

Generally the poison covalently bonds to the active site of the enzyme rendering it useless. Only in extreme cases will a poison be able to carry out such a reaction at cellular conditions. More likely it will compete with substrates for the active site by non covalent interactions or bind to a protein on a second site that distorts the proteins shape and therefor function. for example cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase by binding to a separate site other than the active...

Yes, dry oleander flowers are poisonous.

There are different levels of mercury poisoning, acute and chronic. Sudden exposure to high levels will cause breathing problems, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, etc. Chronic, exposure over time, causes nerve damage, (tremors,convulsions,) personality disorder, (anger, depression,) organ failure, (kidney infection, pulmonary edema) and many other physical/mental problems. Children are especially at risk since they are developing. If exposure is suspected the person should seek medical treatment immediately. Mercury has a half life of several months in the body, assuming no treatment. One normally experiences a...

Well honestly if it was, then we would all probably be dead. It shouldn't be harmful, considering it goes through a dish washer and when they first make the silver in a factory they only put the carbon in them in order to hold there shape. They go through a series of test first to make sure no chemical is unbalanced. so don't worry about it. Answer: If by silverware you mean eating utensils made of Sterling Silver, there is no carbon in...

Ionizing radiation is the most common form of mutagen.

If you are referring to the little rectangular packets inside of shoe boxes that are labeled as toxic, these are small packages of dessicant which absorb moisture. This prevents shoes or other items from being damaged by moisture or humidity which can increase depending on where the boxes are being stored or transported. ...

none that are known of. the cat fanciers society lists orchids on the safe cat- household plant list. vanilla actually comes from an orchid. it is still best to keep kitties away from them however, because of what pesticides, fertilizers, and potting media may have been used around the plant. i have cats and orchids, i try to use no pesticides, and i keep the fertilizers away from the plant leaves. i occasionally catch them nipping the edges of leaves or tasting...

Cranberry juice can cleanse your system of bacterial toxins, through the process known as acidification of the urine. This is why cranberry juice has been scientifically proven to be helpful in curing UTIs (urinary tract infections). In addition, cranberry juice contains proanthocyanidins. This compound modifies bacterial cells, affecting the cell membrane, and condensing the bacterial cells. Furthermore, cranberry juice compounds interrupt communication between bacterial cells and creates an energy barrier between bacteria and the urinary tract. With regard to cleansing your system of drug-related...

That cannot be determined because it is impossible to get any more than a submicroscopic amount of it due to its being extremely rare and having a very short half life. But it most likely would be because it is related to the elements chlorine, bromine and iodine. ...

Really depends on how quickly the liver and the rest of the body breaks down the alcohol. On a personal level I have has this once many moons ago and I was very ill for about 24-36 hours.

The local population had unknowingly consumed massive quantities of mercury through fish and...
