The Poisons and Antidotes Sourcebook
Rating:
This book is a very complete guide to poisons. What they are,what part is the most dangerous,who it effects(adults,kids,animals),where it is located
geographicly,how it acts,and how its cured,if it can be cured. I have studied herbs for about 20 years and this is the information I have been trying to find under herbal headings,and couldn't. This book lets you know
the poisons you play with every day around your home( and don't know it.)
You will think twice about everything you do, and you should.
the best book on the subject
Rating:
I have many books on this subject
and this is exactly what i was looking for when i typed the word poisons in the search engine it is neither too scientific nor too simple "the best book on the subject" If this book doesn't live up to your expectations i do not believe there is another book that can give you more info on so many poisons.
Poisons today.
Rating:
Poisons surround us, today, more than ever. If you want a concise yet complete work on hundreds of poisons, from everyday items to exotic substances, this book is a must. In my view, no home can skip this one - the information in it can save your life, or the lives of your loved ones or pets. May you never need to use the information contained in this amazing book - but, if you ever need it, better to have it!
