HUMAN POISONING
and
ENVENOMING
Second Edition
Clinicians undergoing competency testing, certification, and pe-
riodic recertification are frequently faced with computer-based H
exams designed to evaluate clinical acumen and judgment. Test a
questions often include an image or radiograph followed by a U
n
vignette of the clinical encounter and a series of questions.
Designed to better prepare practitioners for image-intense, d M
computer-based examinations in their respective fields, Atlas of

Human Poisoning and Envenoming is a visual and written re- Atlas of
EA
minder of the ubiquitous sources of toxins and toxoids in the en-
vironment and the outcomes of accidental or intentional toxic N
N
exposures in humans.

The Second Edition has been restructured with bulleted text, tables,
P t
and figures resembling the vignettes that accompany national ex- l
E a
aminations. Combining the four specialties of toxicology—analyti- O
cal, medical, environmental, and industrial—into one comprehen- N s
sive atlas, the book presents photographs and diagrams of toxic PPPPOOOOIIIISSSSOOOONNNNIIIINNNNGGGG
plants and animals, their mechanisms of poisoning or envenoming, I o aaaannnndddd

and the human responses caused by toxic exposure.
