The practice or habit of ingesting or consuming arsenic, either intentionally or habitually.
From arsenic + Greek 'phagein' meaning 'to eat' + -y (forming nouns). This medical term describes a rare condition or historical practice.
Arsenicophagy has actually occurred in history—some people claimed to gradually build tolerance by consuming tiny amounts of arsenic, a dangerous folk-medicine practice that killed far more people than it saved.
