AB Poisoning  with  salts  of  thallium  or  cesium  are  uncommon  causes  of  life-threatening  toxicity  where  supportive  care  may  be  insufficient  to  alter  outcome.  Radioactive  cesium  can  be  released  as  part  of  a  nuclear  incident  or  dispersed  as  a  “dirty  bomb,”  producing  radiation  poisoning  with  sub-toxic  cesium  doses.  Prussian  blue  is  an  orally  available  cation  exchange  resin  that  definitively  enhances  elimination  of  thallium  and  cesium  in  humans  and  animals  and  improves  survivability  in  animals.
