Guess you meant Cyanide.. the chemical. Cyanide is usually found, joined with other chemicals, to form compounds. Examples of simple cyanide compounds are hydrogen cyanide, sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide. Certain bacteria, fungi, and algae can produce cyanide, and cyanide is found in a number of foods and plants.
Exposure to high levels of cyanide harms the brain and heart, and may cause coma and death. Exposure to lower levels may result in breathing difficulties, heart pains, vomiting, blood changes, headaches, and enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Some of the first indications of cyanide poisoning are rapid, deep breathing and shortness of breath, followed by convulsions (seizures) and loss of consciousness. These symptoms can occur rapidly, depending on the amount eaten. The health effects of large amounts of cyanide are similar, whether you eat, drink, or breathe it; cyanide uptake into the body through the skin is slower than these other means of exposure. Skin contact with hydrogen cyanide or cyanide salts can irritate and produce sores.
Hope this answers your question!

Both of those moments make me cry. I have witnesses many of each, death has tears of sadness, birth has tears of joy. Death is so final, there is no coming back, they are gone for ever from your life, you never get to see that person again. Birth is usually a joyous and expected event that will change a person for the rest of their life if it is their child being born. But even if it is not your own child it still affects you because it is a miracle happening right in front of your eyes. Witnessed it many times when I worked in OB and had tears in my eyes every time. One event that is one of the most upsetting is when birth and death take place within minutes or days of each other. If you are talking about my death or birth, I really like the fact that I was born so I think my death would affect me more, knowing it was eminent and there was something wrong that couldn't be fixed would terrify me.

This isn't right. I don't even think it's wrong. Ape like spelling, out of order, etc. Back to the drawing board.

I don't know, maybe you should ask a police officer. Just dial 911. I am sure that they can provide you with some HELP

If you're going to kill someone with a poison, then learn how to spell the name of it properly.
