On two occasions Bruno ate/drank something that should not be eaten/drunk. What happened to him on these occasions?

Bruno ate some poison-barium carbonate. He started vomiting and breathed heavily, but was later cured. In another incident, he drank nearly a gallon of old engine oil meant for the rats. Fortunately, he remained unaffected but it paralysed and weakened him.
