Encephalopathy Fact #7: Caused By Poisonings
There are countless substances in the world that are toxic to us. Most are kept well away from where they can be a danger to us. Others are more common but are not necessarily a danger to us in small doses. If we are not careful, though, they can be dangerous and can even pose a very real threat to our lives.
Even if we do intake toxins somehow, they are usually filtered out by the kidney or liver. If there is too much for our organs to cope with, though, then things can begin to get nasty. Poisonings can cause a range of harmful symptoms to the body and they can cause damage to the brain.
