Arrow poisons

Arrow poisons are substances that are put on the end of an arrow to make it deadly. These poisons come from all sorts of things, like certain plants, animals, and even minerals.

When you shoot someone with an arrow that has poison on it, the poison enters their body and can make them very sick or even kill them. Different poisons have different effects, and some are more deadly than others.

Arrow poisons have been used for a long time by people all over the world, mostly when hunting or in battles. Some tribes in Africa, for example, use arrow poisons made from the sap of a tree called the African arrow poison tree. Other poisons come from animals like snakes or insects.

It's important to remember that arrow poisons can be very dangerous and should only be used by people who know how to handle them safely.
