Poisoning can occur from several things. It can be done accidentally or intentionally. You can be poisoned from something you eat or drink, an insect or snake bite, or household chemicals. Working with chemicals, such as pesticides or paint varnishes, can also poison you. Even medications that are meant to help you can be toxic. Most poisoning is done accidently, but is still quite costly if it happens to you. If you feel you’ve been poisoned, it’s best to contact knowledgeable attorneys.
