Explanation:

Identify the routes of exposure

Using the Toxicological Emergencies knowledge point, we classify how toxins enter the human body into four primary routes: ingestion (swallowing), inhalation (breathing in), absorption (through skin or mucous membranes), and injection (via needles, bites, or stings).

Determine the most frequent route

Epidemiological data from poison control centers shows that the vast majority of accidental and intentional poisonings occur via swallowing substances, making ingestion the most common route of exposure.

Answer:

• Injection.
• Ingestion. (Correct answer)
