Introduction Teachers across various institutions have come across the student’s confusion over effects of poison. They are not able to remember the specific signs and symptoms of poison. Further it becomes difficult to diagnose and treat the patient with poisoning. Students study various poisons over a period and it becomes difficult to memorise the exact signs and symptoms at the time of examination. They end up with stress and have a fear of it. Medical students are required to retain vast amount of medical knowledge on the path to becoming physicians.
