If you've been poisoned by arsenic, how long can you live and what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arsenic: Arsenic poisoning generally presents with headache, gastrointestinal pain, vomiting & diarrhea, confusion, neurological changes and a few other (rarer symptoms). It can be treated and safely removed by using a type of chelation/detoxification therapy (where heavier metals are used to compete with the binding of the arsenic) such as EDTA
