Toxicology

Roles: poison, dose, contamination, vector, antidote, threshold, lethal-dose, exposure

The study of poisons, doses, and their effects on organisms. Central insight: the dose makes the poison. Small quantities of contamination can produce outsized effects, and harm depends on the pathway of exposure. A potent source domain for data corruption, cache poisoning, and adversarial input attacks where tiny malicious inputs produce catastrophic outputs.
