The body have mainly two ways of keeping balance. There is a separate organ in your inner ear that works like a gyroscope and measures rotation. But you will also see the rotation of the world through your eyes. The eyes are more accurate but is not always available, hence the inner ear. A fairly common issue with all animals is accidentally eating poisonous food. Most poisons will affect the neural system messing with the signals too and from the brain as well as the signals in the brain itself. There is not much indication to the brain that this is happening but if the poison affects either your vision or your inner ear then it will be very easy to tell because those should register the same movement in a healthy body. And your body have a few reactions to being poisoned. One of the major ones is throwing up as most of the poisonous food might still be in the stomach and yet to be digested.
