Mar 30, 2023 at 3:30 comment added TheTechGuy @Oddthinking I did not notice anyone edited this? There was some activity and I thought the title could be better. Again I am not aware if someone edit the title, I definitely did not get notification for that.
Mar 29, 2023 at 4:40 comment added Oddthinking @TheTechGuy: not interested in getting into an edit war. Why undo the edit to make this less unnecessarily gendered?

Jan 17, 2020 at 19:54 comment added cbeleites Just as a side not: The cited part would not be in contradiction with Mohammed getting sick directly after the poisoning and dying after 3 years of illness. Which would be much less notable than poison intake -> 3 healthy years -> sudden death due to said poison.
Jan 14, 2020 at 17:53 comment added Mayo Just to clarify the original post. This death is not "claimed" by answering-islam. It is believed by Muslims and is narrated in the hadith. Just looked it up, it's in Sahih Bukhari 3:47:786. It's clear that Muhammad was poisoned. It's not clear that it was the poison that killed him.

Nov 28, 2011 at 16:26 comment added MetaEd Some radioactive materials are poisonous, and have been used to deliberately poison. I provided a reference to the claim that a radioactive material killed someone years later: please follow the link I provided, and read: "According to the IAEA in 1960 a person ingested 74 MBq of radium (assumed to be 226Ra) and this person died four years later." That statement is footnoted to an IAEA document available online. If you mean to limit the question to deliberate, onset-delayed poisonings using substances available to anyone, kindly edit your question to be clear.
Nov 28, 2011 at 16:14 comment added TheTechGuy Sir Radio Active material is not a poison. I am talking about poisen. And even if i consider radio active as poisen, there is not quote example reference that it has killed someone years later.
Nov 28, 2011 at 16:03 comment added MetaEd It has become clear from the OP's responses that the question is unclear and isn't really getting at what the OP wants to have explained.

Nov 25, 2011 at 9:18 comment added user5359 Another theoretically possible explanation for delayed effect of poisoning is bioaccumulation of fat soluble poison, released during a sudden period of weight loss. As far as I understand, however, this is usually caused by continuous exposure, where the concentration in the bloodstream is never strong enough to have any direct effects. In the case of an administered poison, this would mean several small doses over a prolonged period, each too small in itself to have any noticeable effects, and absorbed into the body before the next dose is administered.
