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. If oxygen is in limited supply carbon monoxide is formed instead of carbon dioxide.

Petrol sometimes contains impurities of Nitrogen and Sulphur. When petrol burns these elements combine with oxygen to make oxides of nitrogen and sulphur dioxide ( All of which are gases).

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 site and distorts the protein and renders it inactive leading to a build up of reactive ions and a destruction of the equilibrium in the cell leading to cell death and ultimate death of the individual.

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 very trace absorption of mercury from food and industrial sources, and this lengthy removal time will not create any health issues for normal individuals- assuming mercury exposure is not in abnormally high concentrations. If one suspects mercury poisoning, seek medical attention immediately. Poisoning from mercury is a potentially life threatening condition that needs to be addressed medically with prescription chelating agents, not by homeopathic "detoxification" remedies. A simple follicle or blood test can be used to evaluate mercury levels and confirm a poisoning diagnosis.

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 the spikes, and always scare them off anyway. its usually new orchids that they seem most interested in. but i haven't had them damage one yet.

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. I was unable to keep any fluids down was going to call a Doctor was getting very worried.

But once my stomach finally settled down and I was able to replace fluids I felt better.

Needles to say I have never been this bad since.

the immediate symptoms will be OK once you are in the Emergency room,(if you are lucky to end up there). Then there is a 72 hour threshold for the risk of seziors. After that, the immediate threat will be gone.

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 toxins and their metabolites, drinking cranberry juice only seems to have the same effect as drinking lots of water. It will dilute the toxins, but not really eliminate them any faster than your body can already deal with them, metabolically.

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.
