      There is loads! In fact, anything can be poisonous if we are exposed to them in high dosages. For example, you can die from drinking too much water!
      One of the most deadliest poison known on earth is Cyanide – the right amounts of this can result in death because they bind to iron in our blood and stop them from carrying oxygen to our cells. Cyanide is usually found in fruit seeds, like in apples! But, our bodies are able to fight them off in small amounts so you don’t need to worry if you have accidently eaten an apple seed.
