Guess I’m overdosing or getting poisoned if I die by 44.
Fun fact: poisonings run, like, 96% unintentional, 4% suicides, 0.2% homicides. So you're probably not getting poisoned.
RFK Jr deregulating everything will probably help with that.
I am assuming the vast majority of these are... serious food poisonings?
Or.. maybe a chunk is like, some kind of industrial accident?
Does it get more granular as to categories of poisonings?
... wait, does a drug overdoes count as poisoning?
Drug overdoses count as poisoning. They will break all of these out by 'intent,' meaning accident, suicide, or homicide. About 4% of poison deaths are suicide and another 4% 'undetermined.' I haven't found any details like substance or location.
I would imagine that methodology as to whether or not an OD is classed as intentional or unintentional suicide... is basically inconsistent garbage.
I... have also unfortunately personally seen someone cause an OD in another, as a method of murder.
So... that happens.
No idea how often, in aggregate.
