Template:ICD10 Guideline poisoning by non-pharmaceuticals

This template is used for the dxs in the Category:Adverse effect to consistently explain how to use them.

To use:

These ICD10 codes have the pattern: "Name of substance" followed by the words ", poisoning".
These are not pharmaceutical agents, and with the exception of Alcohol (ethanol), poisoning and Cocaine, overdose/toxicity, they are all exclusively poisons
Do not confuse this group of codes with Template:ICD10 Guideline adverse effect or Template:ICD10 Guideline overdose
To qualify here, there must be a threat to life, or limb, or to functioning for one or more organs.
Note: The lack of pharmaceutical use for all the substances in this category is the reason why these codes have no counterparts for overdoses (with the excepts listed above), adverse events, etc.
