For patients without health insurance, plantar wart removal typically costs less than $50 for over-the-counter salicylic acid treatment to less than $200 for prescription cream and less than $1,000 for laser treatment or cryotherapy. In rare cases in which surgery is required, costs could increase to $8,000 or more.
If a large amount of arsenic is swallowed by humans, in a form that is readily absorbed, it can cause rapid poisoning and death. The gut, the heart and the nervous system are affected.
Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water increases the chance of getting some types of cancer (such as skin, bladder, lung and possibly liver and kidney). Other health effects may include blood vessel damage, high blood pressure, nerve damage, anemia, stomach upsets, diabetes, and skin changes.
