poisoning

Poisons are, biologically, substances that can cause damage, illness, or death to organisms, usually by a chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, after a sufficient quantity of the substance is absorbed by an organism. As a result, poisoning is the act of an organism in absorbing the poison. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Poisoning]
