    Your best bet for gaming, far and away, is *DEADLY DOSES: A Writer's 
Guide To Poisons,* by Sarita Stevens.  Not only is it well organized, easy to 
understand, and informative, it has a bunch of handy appendices organizing 
poisons by various categories (methods of administration, symptoms, etc.). 
Thus, if you need for your game a poison that turns people blue, you can 
check the appendix under "Symptoms -- Skin Coloration -- Blue" to find just 
the thing. }:)
