Poison

Poison was a toxic substance used to either incapacitate or kill an individual.

Police inspector Tan Divo made the observation during a murder investigation that poison was the preferred method of killing by politicians. Senator Onaconda Farr, as it turned out, was murdered by his assistant, Lolo Purs, using a poison toxic to Rodians.

Dioxis was a well-known poison in gas form.

Poisons and venoms could be treated with substances such as antivenom, also known as antivenin. Antivenin could be used to treat bluebarb wasp stings. During his childhood, the Duros Shriv Suurgav was dosed with antivenin by a medic in order to treat the bluebarb wasp stings on his face. He had been given so much of the medicine that he felt as if his face was melting.

Dragonsnakes could poison their prey by biting them, and the venom could be fatal to humans unless a specific antidote made from local plants found on Nal Hutta, was administed.
