Poisoning: myths and facts

Abstract

Poison is likely to be a substance, natural or synthetic that causes damage to living tissues and may have an injurious or fatal effect on the body, and is also capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed. In this scientific era of many discoveries and inventions, science makes the impossible things possible in the blink of an eye, so there’s no place for superstitions. Science and superstitions are poles apart. Yet they are the two sides of the same coin unknown of their interdependence. Science in itself is a sweet beginning and sometimes a bitter ending whereas superstitions have neither beginning nor the end; it is complete in themselves. But still, these two unrealistic and realistic, concepts are interconnected somewhere beyond science, Science completes superstitions in the same way as reasons complete assumptions. Reasons sometimes fail to explain rendering the assumptions to be almost dark and blank.
