A bezoar is a compact mass or concretion of indigestable organic or inorganic material found in the gastrointestinal system. The concretions may develop into enteroliths.

Modern examinations show that when bezoars are immersed in an arsenic-laced solution, they can remove the poison. The toxic compounds in arsenic are arsenate and arsenite; each is acted upon differently by the bezoars: arsenate is removed by being exchanged for phosphate in brushite found in the stones, while arsenite is bound to sulfur compounds in the protein of degraded hair, which is a key component in bezoars (wikipedia).
