You know it's Russia when a specific legal clause is inserted in the medical care laws defining being poisoned as a common form of injury.
"Look we have to do something with all this novochok we have left over from soviet days!"
Ahahahaha. Nice one.
It is list of injuries requiring emergency treatment, not common injuries.
But since Botulism is also form of poisoning, it is not something too uncommon. And if not treated, it will 60% likely to kill.
And you can get it by eating old canned food.
Not all poisonings occur because of assassination attempts. (in fact I imagine it to be a very tiny minority of poisoning cases) Someone can be poisoned by picking the wrong mushroom, thinking it to be a different edible one, or by eating the delicious looking tide pods or by drinking a cup of the methanol-rich alcoholic beverage your friend made (or by drinking too much alcohol in general).
