Poison is any substance that causes disturbances or a harmful effect when administered to a living organism.[1] Another definition states that poison is any substance or blend of substances that can be life threatening.[2] The term poison is closely related to the amount as high doses of a substance can be harmful, and at the same time not cause injury in a lower dose.[1][note 1]
