Anticonvulsants. Strychnine poisoning can be fatal to humans and other animals and can occur by inhalation, swallowing or absorption through eyes or mouth. It produces some of the most dramatic and painful symptoms of any known toxic reaction, making it quite noticeable and a common choice for assassinations and poison attacks.

Phantosmia (phantom smell), also called an olfactory hallucination or a phantom odor, [ 1 ] is smelling an odor that is not actually there. This is intrinsically suspicious as the formal evaluation and detection of relatively low levels of odour particles is itself a very tricky task in air epistemology. [further explanation needed] It can ...
Nitrogen dioxide poisoning is the illness resulting from the toxic effect of nitrogen dioxide (NO. 2). It usually occurs after the inhalation of the gas beyond the threshold limit value. [1] Nitrogen dioxide is reddish-brown with a very harsh smell at high concentrations, at lower concentrations it is colorless but may still have a harsh odour.
Cyanide is a potent cytochrome c oxidase (COX, a.k.a. Complex IV) inhibitor, causing asphyxiation of cells. As such, cyanide poisoning is a form of histotoxic hypoxia, because it interferes with the ability of cells to take or use oxygen via oxidative phosphorylation. [ 25 ]: 1475. Specifically, cyanide binds to the heme a3-CuB binuclear center ...
Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is an infectious disease that most often results from a scratch or bite of a cat. [4] Symptoms typically include a non-painful bump or blister at the site of injury and painful and swollen lymph nodes. [2] People may feel tired, have a headache, or a fever.

[ 8 ] Occasionally, people may have a few weeks or months of mild, flu-like illness such as muscle aches and tender lymph nodes. [ 1 ]
