"Rat killer" is probably "warfarin" which causes blood vessels to burst and not clot; result is internal hemorrage. I have seen the horrible red eyes of a dog that ate warfarin, it's really awful. No reason to think that humans are immune, but it's a body weight thing: no doubt since a human weighs 100x what a rat does, it will take 100x the amount of warfarin to kill a human. So yeah, if a human eats enough, the human will die.

What's toxic for rats tend to also be toxic to humans too. It might take a little more to do the trick, or it might take longer, but rat poison can kill a man just as easily as it could kill a rat.

Most rodent poisons were metalloid compounds, such as arsenic. Also in use where metal phosphides, which caused a reaction when in the digestive tract. Now, there are anticoagulants (causing rats to literally bleed to death), phosphides(releases toxic gases inside the digestive tract), and zyklon B (hydrogen cyanide).

There is a toxin that might be nontoxic to humans (at least in small doses): Cholecalciferol(vitamin D3) is used as a rat poison and is toxic in rodents for the same reason it is good for humans in that it affects calcium absorption in the body. In rodents it causes hypercalcemia (buildup of calcium in body tissues). It can be toxic to dogs, but not humans or cats.

Generally any food you can eat, you can give it to your rats. Here are some exceptions, these are foods to avoid; * Blue cheese - The mold in it is toxic to rats. * Licorice - Is suspected to cause neurological poisoning in a rat. * Raw sweet potato - Contains compounds that form cyanide in the stomach. * Raw dry beans or peanuts - Contains anti nutrients that destroy vitamin A and enzymes needed to digest protein and starches, and causes the red blood cells to clump. * Raw red Cabbage and Brussels sprout - Contains anti nutrient that destroys thiamine. * Raw artichokes - Inhibits protein digestion. * Green bananas - Inhibits starch digestion enzymes. * Green potato skin and eyes - Contain alanine, a toxin. * Wild insects - Can carry internal parasites and diseases, not worth taking chances. * Rhubarb - Contains high levels of oxalate's. * Raw bulk tofu - The bulk unpack aged kind, contain bacteria, the packaged raw tofu is safe. * Peanut butter - Has been known to choke a rat, it is very thick and can get caught in your rats throat, stay away from it just to be on the safe side. good foods are *Dry rolled oats Any type is fine as long as it contains no sugar. *Puffed wheat cereal Malt-O-Meal, Quaker or Kashi, which is available in natural food stores. Cheerios are also a viable alternative, nutrios are great that can be found in the baby section at your grocery store. *Puffed rice cereal Preferably a type that contains no sugar. Rice Krispies really are not recommended. *Roasted, unsalted soy nuts These are somewhat high in protein, but contain valuable cancer-preventing agents, so they are a good addition to the mix. If you can't find them, you can work soy into their diet in other ways, such as soy milk, tofu, soy crumbles and soy yogurt. *Dried fruits Bananas, which offer potassium, and cranberries are good for the urinary tract. Or you can give them fresh fruit that your eating. *Dry pasta The tri-colored spirals, with spinach and tomato flavor. Nice and crunchy for the teeth, and a good source of carbohydrates, which helps balance the protein in the soy nuts. *Sunflower seeds Unsalted, they can be bought bulk. *Fresh vegetables *Chicken bones The ones left over from supper are a great healthy treat. Just give them a variety of foods that are good for them, just things that you have in your cupboard, mix them all together and voila, you have rat food. Then make sure they have dog food handy at all times. Some people will just buy a mouse and rodent mix or lab blocks, and add dog food. *Dog food Any good quality low protein dog food is good.

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

rat killer use to be mainly arsenic and would kill you right away if enough is ingested. or after awhile if ingested a bit at a time since it stayed in the body . I watch to many movies. but the newer ones will also kill you but may may not be acumalative and if a small enough dose may just make you sick till it clears your system

Warfarin, which is the active ingredient in D-con, is prescribed as a blood thinner to people with afflictions like phlebitis, deep leg thrombosis, and, I believe, to people in danger of coronary thrombosis and stroke.

It is widely believed that Napoleon died of arsenic poisoning.

Well, it's arsenic... what do you think? Is it poisonous to humans? Is there a warning label on the rat poison?
