How to use "Poison" in context?
When we think of poison, images of staggering victims with horrific injuries come to mind. But what many people don't realize is that some poisons can be quite benign, even helpful. Here are four examples:
1. Ethanol is a common ingredient in cleaning products and can be found in many common household items. However, ethanol can also be used as a poison. According to the National Institute of Health, ethanol can be fatal in high doses, but it's usually harmless when consumed in small amounts.
2. Cyanide is a deadly poison found in pills, gels, and capsules.
