List of types of poison. The following is a list of types of poison by intended use: Avicide â any substance which can be used to kill birds. Biocide â a chemical substance capable of killing living organisms, usually in a selective way. Fungicide â a chemical compound or biological organism used to kill or inhibit fungi or fungal spores.
Poison is a substance that can harm or even kill you. Arsenic and cyanide are both types of poisonâso stay away from them! Mean people can also be poison, so stay away from them too. Poison refers to the harmful substance itself, or the act of giving it to someone. Poison often shows up in murder mysteries because itâs a sneaky way to get rid of someone. We also use poison metaphorically for things that tend to ruin something. A really obnoxious friend who always insists that he knows more than everyone else might poison the atmosphere at a dinner party. Jealousy can poison a good relationship.
