How much?

How much is "excess" what is the lethal dosage? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.98.60 (talk) 22:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Toxicity

It says in the article" "Toxic effects start ... above 20-30 mg/kg". What kgs? Of a body weight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.196.217 (talk) 07:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't make sense. First it says that "Ingestions of more than 50 mg/kg of elemental iron are associated with severe toxicity"

Then right after that it says that the standard pill of "325 mg has 65 mg/kg of elemental iron" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.194.71.101 (talk) 01:16, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nonhuman animals

This article ignores canine and other veterinary iron toxicity; it should be re-written with a larger scope (or given a narrower name). Dr.queso = talk 19:56, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
