Episode 53: From Cosmetics to Creatures – A Mix of Unusual Poisonings
Description
This week on The Tox Lab, we’re exploring a series of fascinating and unusual poisoning cases, each with its own toxic twist.
From hair straightening treatments and bearded fireworms to midodrine, isotocyanozene, and sodium azide, we discuss the mechanisms, clinical presentations, and toxicological challenges behind each case.
Join us as we unpack what these cases reveal about the diverse and sometimes surprising ways that chemicals and compounds can cause harm.
Hope you enjoy!
