How much arsenic can a person ingest before become sick?

Depends: Arsenic poisoning or arsenicosis is a condition caused by the ingestion, absorption or inhalation of dangerous levels of arsenic. Arsenic is a natural semi-metallic chemical that is found all over the world in groundwater. Large amounts ingested are fatal but small amounts over time can make you sick but not kill you.
