GlossaryThallium Poisoning

exposure to thallium causes severe toxicity, including hair loss

Thallium poisoning, also known as thallium toxicity or thallotoxicosis, occurs when a person is exposed to thallium, a highly toxic heavy metal. Symptoms can include hair loss (alopecia), gastrointestinal distress, nerve damage, and even death if not treated promptly. Thallium was historically used in rat poisons and insecticides, but its use has been restricted due to its high toxicity.
