Our 'Dose makes the poison' temporary tattoo was designed for the MRC Toxicology Unit as part of the Tattoo my Science project.
Dose makes the poisonThe dose makes the poison' is a phrase that describes the basics of what toxicology is. People often think of poisons and dangerous chemicals when they think of toxicology, but actually anything could have a harmful effect on our bodies if we have too much or too little of it. Even water or oxygen! Our researchers study a range of different toxins and how they may cause disease so that we can find new ways to make our medicines better and environment safer.
