Comment on Why does the inner ear imbalance make you throw up?

why is dizziness a common side effect of poisons
My guess was that some poisons affect the nerves, or decrease blood supply to the brain? I don’t have anything more specific though

Many poisons affect the nerves directly, i.e. the transport of the electric there. The first impact is that the brain (and the spinal cord of course) does not receive the sensoric info properly anymore. And then the body does not follow the brain’s commands anymore.

Is it accurate to call alcohol a poison?
I don’t drink and I can be even more insufferable to my drinking friends with that information.

Everything is a poison.

My feelings are with them ;-)

So once the signals get mixed up, the dizziness sets in?
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Sort of. I would even say, the perception of broken signals is the dizzyness.

It’s like your brain is trying to control your legs but the server is overloaded and the lag is terrible.
