In this special Life and Sirens episode, we delve into the eerie world of toxins with a “witch’s brew” of dangers to watch out for. Starting with the metallic menace—mercury—highlighting its toxic effects, exposure risks Next, poisonous plants, we explore how common flora like oleander and foxglove contain compounds that mimic medications but can be deadly without careful handling. We’ll also discuss medications with toxic side effects, especially those easily found in homes, and how they can be double-edged swords if misused or mishandled.
As always, if you have a story to tell—funny, wild, heartbreaking, or unforgettable—you can share it through our website. We’d love to feature it on a future episode.
