What are the primary causes of deaths due to poisoning, their signs and symptoms and what is the pattern ?


Question:
Like to lnow waht are the reasons poisoning and deaths. How is related to the age group, gender, ethinc groups, socioeconomic status and country wide distribution or atleast regional distribution

Answers:
Each poison has its own way of effecting the victim, dependant on its toxicity, how it is taken, ingested, inhaled, injected and so forth.

There is so many types of poisons such as, gases, chemicals, drugs and envenomation (bites from snakes and spiders). It would be fairly hard to keep a record in the manner you have asked.

But records are kept relevant to the type of poison used/taken or exposed too. So the emergency personal can treat and management of a poisoned victim. Some chemicals have a M.S.D.S

Sorry not much help
