  3. Cyanide poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_poisoning

    Despite the similar name, cyanide does not directly cause cyanosis. [11] A fatal dose for humans can be as low as 1.5 mg/kg body weight. [12] Other sources claim a lethal dose is 1–3 mg per kg body weight for vertebrates. [13]

  4. Corpse decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpse_decomposition

    A decomposing human body in the earth will eventually release approximately 32 g (1.1 oz) of nitrogen, 10 g (0.35 oz) of phosphorus, 4 g (0.14 oz) of potassium, and 1 g (0.035 oz) of magnesium for every kilogram of dry body mass, making changes in the chemistry of the soil around it that may persist for years.

    Kentucky has approached Suboxone in such a shuffling and half-hearted way that just 62 or so opiate addicts treated in 2013 in all of the state’s taxpayer-funded facilities were able to obtain the medication that doctors say is the surest way to save their lives. Last year that number fell to 38, as overdose deaths continued to soar.

    This has been estimated at 1 centimetre (0.4 in) or less per year during the first three years with a total decrease of 3 centimetres (1.2 in) over 10 years. [91] [92] Hypersensitivity (including skin rash, urticaria, and fever) is sometimes reported when using transdermal methylphenidate.

  7. Lindy effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect

    For example, human beings are perishable: the life expectancy at birth in developed countries is about 80 years. So the Lindy effect does not apply to individual human lifespan: all else being equal, it is less likely for a 10-year-old human to die within the next year than for a 100-year-old, while the Lindy effect would predict the opposite.

  8. Brodifacoum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodifacoum

    Brodifacoum is a 4-hydroxycoumarin anticoagulant, with a similar mode of action to its historical predecessors dicoumarol and warfarin.However, due to very high potency and long duration of action (elimination half-life of 20 – 130 days), it is characterised as a "second-generation" or "superwarfarin" anticoagulant.

  9. Mushroom poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_poisoning

    In the United States, mushroom poisoning kills an average of about 3 people a year. [36] According to National Poison Data System (NPDS) annual reports published by America's Poison Centers, the average number of deaths occurring over a ten-year period (2012–2020) sits right at 3 a year. [37]
