Donald G. Barceloux

Medical Toxicology of Natural Substances

Foods, Fungi, Medicinal Herbs, Plants, and Venomous Animals

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Interest and information in the field of medical toxicology has grown rapidly, but medical literature lacks a concise, authoritative reference that focuses on the subjects of natural substances, chemical and physical toxins, drugs of abuse, and pharmaceutical overdose. This book offers an easily accessible resource for toxicological information on foods, plants, and animals - the key areas in the natural environment.
