Secondary poisoning

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Secondary poisoning is poisoning that can result when one organism comes into contact with or ingests another organism that has poison in its system. It typically occurs when a predator eats an animal, such as a mouse, rat, or insect, that has previously been poisoned by a commercial pesticide. If the level of toxicity in the prey animal is sufficiently high, it will harm the predator. It can affect humans, with infants and small children being the most susceptible.
