Summary of Dr. Neil Bradbury's A Taste for Poison
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Poisoning is the act of administering a poison to another person. It is a very morbid fascination, and the methods of poisoning are varied and strange. The words poison and toxin are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.
#2 The four routes of poison delivery are ingestion, respiration, absorption, and injection. The actions of poisons reveal a lot about human biology. Many poisons attack the nervous system, disrupting the highly sophisticated electrical signaling that controls the normal functions of the body.
#3 The same chemicals that are used to treat diseases are also used to tease apart the inner molecular and cellular mechanisms of cells and organs, which is then used to develop new drugs that treat and cure a wide range of diseases.
#4 The chemical in question is insulin, and its absence, or an inability of the body to respond to it properly, leads to the disease diabetes mellitus. Before the widespread availability of insulin, a diagnosis of diabetes was akin to a death sentence.
