Depends on the substance and the dosage. Arsenic poisoning can kill in less than a day, and toxic dosages are usually expressed in micrograms, not kilograms. Given the extremely toxic nature described for adamantium and that it takes the majority of Logan's healing factor to counter it, we should probably compare it with the worst examples.
Fascinating insight, however might you not get some sort of evolutionary effect whereby, if your healing factor made all cells, good and bad go into overdrive, then you would be almost immediately destroyed by damaging cancer cells, thus that particular mutant line would be cut from the gene pool (no relative of Deadpool ), thus making "positive" mutations much more prevalent?
Theoretically yes but mutant powers don't seem to have direct heritability like normal human traits and there is a degree of mutual exclusivity. Also, the bulk of mutants we see are first gen, there hasn't been any time for there to be an evolutionary pressure to remove the defectives from the genepool. The only trait selection that occurs is at the time of mutation so it's a sink or swim kind of thing.
Take Cable or Night Crawler for example for example, they only inherited the mutations of one of their parents and not in exactly the same way. The X-gene is a form of rapid response evolution similar to what we see in bacterial colonies just applied to mult-cell eukaryotic organisms. The X-gene is triggered by a combination of cortisol (physiological stress response) combined mental trauma, that means every mutation has a degree of randomness to it as it's targeted at an individual rather than on a tribal/species level.
Though, the real reason is that no one wants to read about a mutant who died of cancer 10 minutes after their x-gene kicked in.
Discussing science fiction comic book biology is completely silly, everyone knows that. Thats why we do it, it's just for fun; no different to talking about what you would do if you won the lottery.
We are trying to apply hard science to a comic book charater in a porn game thread based on a 90's cartoon, if this causing you to get mad you need to take a break from the internet.

Nightcrawler is a very weird case, while Azazel may no longer be his direct father your logic still applies... with a certain caveat, Azazel is a mutant demon which is why Kurt gets his mutation from birth, so it's a problem to take into consideration. That said, another example could be the Summers brothers, who all have energy conversion powers and are inmune between them (except Vulcan, but he is a very special case).
When you run into the people going on about "EVIL CHEMICALS" (i.e. all chemicals are inherently bad) start talking about the most insidious of silent killers, dihydrogen-monoxide.
Stuff is everywhere, and inhaling relatively small amounts can kill! People die because of the stuff on a regular basis. It's even destructive when not inhaled: it corrodes metal, erodes rock and concrete, and can even turn into a dangerous solid with relative ease!

Personally I would call it Hydrogen Hydroxide. You can also add that it's gaseous form can cause severe burns, and currently factories regularly dump tons into the atmosphere, and no government regulate it.
Wikipedia has a list of 12 alternative names including hydorgen hydroxide (HOH), but dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) had a full blown parody/ hoax attached to it, so I went with that one. I personally tend to dihydrogen oxide.

My favourite has to be the April Fools newspaper story reporting DHMO in the city's water pipes, and listing its dangers.
I think they made Adamantium toxic so when Wolvie had it removed he didn't suffer a huge nerf to his powers for only having bone claws rather than his signature metal ones.
Which is why I prefaced it with "occurs in the bones, joints, ligaments or soft tissue that contacts those". There are tons of reactions that occur in major organs (especially the digestive tract) that could result in a lethal imbalance but the biggest thing I could see when it comes to bones would be something related to T cells given the functions bone marrow serves, since Logan doesn't die from a common cold means that his bones must still be porous or at least not be completely encased (assuming adamatium itself isn't porous) so there is still a fluid exchange of some kind going on. I was just trying to imagine what it might be.
The first thing I think about when I hear bone marrow is the production of red blood sells. As you mentioned, it is also involved in the production of T cells and anything leukocyte derived meaning a direct impact on both the circulatory and immune systems and thus the lymphatic system. Also, hormones regulate everything in the body; therefore any catalytic reaction causing a hormone imbalance could have an impact on any system in the body. For example, if it caused an increase in cortisol levels, it would result in Cushing syndrome.
I set you up for a perfect vague response to drive the fans crazy, and you blew it. It was an easy layup, man!
Joking aside, thank you for answering. I can't say it's my favorite meme in the Marvel universe, and I definitely feel it fits into the overused category, but it tends to be one of those things I shrug at and go, "Oh well, it's canon." Of course, I'm a hypocrite; I can be perfectly happy ignoring canon I feel is "bad" or "stupid," but I can also be the pedantic asshole on occasion arguing how the canon I feel is "good" or "important," i.e. that I like, must be included simply due to the fact that it is canon.
I, for one, appreciate the effort. It can be very difficult. At the most basic level, it is extremely easy to fall into stereotypes. It is also difficult to convey things from one language into another where it simply doesn't exist. For example, many Slavic languages have a close mid-vowel that simply doesn't exist in English, and there isn't any good way to represent that phoneme in English. There is also the fact that language is constantly undergoing lexiconic, phonetic, and semantic shifts. In the mid-twentieth century, the use of semi-modals experienced are marked increase in use at the expense of modals. Older characters such as Logan should almost never use semi-modals. Also, try reading an early edition of Sherlock Holmes. You'll find a surprising number of instances of the verb ejaculate in places where later editions have words like shout or exclaim.
Crowd of People: Crying in horror.
Mr. Sinister: CEASE YOUR POINTLESS EJACULATIONS!
Crowd of People: Laughing uncontrollably.
Our approach to ignoring canon starts with a simple question.
"Was this done for the natural creative process, or did someone come along and fuck it up?"
List of things that we're ignoring.
1. Anything proven to be a corporate mandate.
(Batman not going down on Cat Woman kinda stuff)
2. Things done for the sake of shaking up the status quo more than the rational next step in story telling.
3. Anything that was done for the shock factor alone. (Like people actually died in the Sentinel attack but we didn't get gratuitous. If a scene calls for severity, we're willing to commit, but if it doesn't then that's just pandering)
4. Retconning rape into people's backstories for little to no reason.

Not to mention it's excellent properties of energy retention. The have been multiple documented instances of burns and even explosions caused by this dangerous substance. Many a locomotive or ship has been destroyed as a result.
Okay, last silly scenario my mind created under the influence of recent discussions:
Null enters a dorm to find all three girls gathered together and drinking. Laura is grumpy, complaining about how the drinks taste horrible and wondering if it is some form of hazing ritual she's heard about. An hour later, Laura has lost all inhibitions, has removed the majority of her clothes, is trying to make out with everyone, and is praising alcohol as the best thing ever.
As the Doctor said in The Waters of Mars, "water always wins!"

what you are referring to is called Zonerism which was due to a science project a student once did where he asked others how dangerous Di-hydrogen Monoxide is
Funnily enough, it did represent a nerf when he lost it but not for the reasons you might think.
With his healing factor used to working overtime to stop the adamantium, once the metal was gone his regenration was so good it healed his brain... and then kept on healing, basically the healing factor made Logan go back to monke.

Nathan Zohner did garner widespread attention for this with his report "How Gullible Are We?" in 1997, but the origins of the entire thing go back further than that, at least 1983 (April Fools article in Durand Express - they called it Dihydrogen Oxide). It is likely even older than that as the chemical terminology is fairly obvious, and chemistry nerds are still nerds.

ty for telling me that. I forgot his name and honestly was struggling to remember it and I wasn't sure if I spelled that right. but the whole thing about it going further back than that makes sense. there was the whole War of The Worlds radio broadcast back in the day and a lot of people thought it was real

Each girl has unique unlock values. You're meant to experiment... Or click the auto button.
Several players and testers have confirmed that they were able to get both the girls and the player to get off with just the first set of heavy petting.

Sure can, although on my second play-through I've decided not to let the MC finish that way as it does seem a little odd to be doing mostly clothed heavy petting, and then suddenly whip your dick out to unload on a suspiciously convenient towel. I was able to get the girls off as long as I can rub some of the fun bits through her clothes.
This does make me think that while Null may not be addictive like Zero, he still has something more to him that he can get girls off that easy. Either that or girls with the X-gene are more orgasmicly (is that a word?) sensitive than mundane women - that's not likely to go over well with half the population when they find out "Wait, so they get super powers, and have an easy time getting off? How is that fair?"
