I thought it was general knowledge that if you eat something that is off the first sign is vomiting and diarrhea. That is food poisoning, for example.
How to Tell if Someone has Been Poisoned
Signs or symptoms of poisoning may include:
Poisoning: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia
- Very large or very small pupils
- Rapid or very slow heartbeat
- Rapid or very slow breathing
- Drooling or very dry mouth
- Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Sleepiness or hyperactivity
- Confusion
- Slurred speech
- Uncoordinated movements or difficulty walking
- Difficulty urinating
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Burns or redness of the lips and mouth, caused by drinking poison
- Chemical-smelling breath
- Chemical burns or stains on the person, clothing, or area around the person
- Chest pain
- Headache
- Loss of vision
- Spontaneous bleeding
- Empty pill bottles or pills scattered around
Right, this is what I was trying to get at. So you were basing it on the part of the quote that you thought sounded like poison, and not the other part, which said "It is important to note that AC was complaining of chest pains and shortness of breath for approx 7 days prior to his death, which it appears to support the COD." That's why I was confused. The latter suggests nothing about poison to me at all.
Anyway, as usual, I'm sure all the medical examiners of the world (or their parents) are regretting all that money spent on med school when they could have just asked WS for a consult
