My cousin committed suicide by ingesting rat poison. Doesn't take much. It is an excruciating way to go as well. You bleed to death from your stomach. It is very dangerous. Should not be laying around where children can get at it

It depends on the amount. Consuming a large amount (or small amounts over time) will kill you, but a tiny amount one time will probably only make you sick. It also depends on what you mean by "given"- people inject rat poison into their faces (aka Botox) all the time. They may be stupid blondes (no offence to any smart blondes out there, I'm talking like Paris Hilton types), but you don't see them dying from that.

If the poison in question is Warfarin (or an analogue of this) and the dose is high enough then yes it will. It works by thinning the blood so has the potential to cause adverse physiological effects in humans as well.

In a large enough dose. Or smaller doses over a long period of time. Mostly though, I think it would just make someone really really sick.
By the way, attempted poisoning is the same as attempted murder if you were actually thinking of giving it to a person.

possibly..there is medicine.. Warfarin. It has rat posion in it. It helps to control blood level, but if they have to little there blood can clot and kill them o if they have too much it gets like water thin and that can cause them to become anemic which leads to leukima and sometimes death
