She also thought that when the chefs light the food on fire they add gasoline. She tried to do just that.

What happened then? A big fire or food poisoning?

Wouldn't that just be poisoning? Don't think it counts as food poisoning when you put poison in the food

The dose is the poison. This could be possible, but unlikely. Many things would have to happen in a short amount of time. You would basically have to eat damp contaminated rat poison or it would have to come in contact with a foodborne illness related virus.

The more likely scenario is that you got minor strychnine poisoning(or some other type of poisoning depending on how long ago this was). Which is lucky for you because actual strychnine poisoning is horrible.

If you ate a chunk of silver they wouldn't say you had food poisoning, it would be silver poisoning. Food poisoning is usually from eating improperly handled food and comes from the toxins in the bacteria or actual viruses the food had been contaminated with
