If a large amount of arsenic is swallowed by humans, in a form that is readily absorbed, it can cause rapid poisoning and death. The gut, the heart and the nervous system are affected.
For example, chickens may have small amounts of inorganic arsenic-containing pesticides added to their feed to prevent infections, which can be transferred to humans through the environment or through the food supply. Drinking water can also contain small amounts of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic can affect every organ.
