Now that you’re pregnant, you’ll need to run all your decisions past someone with rights, like your husband or a congressman.

I’m not pregnant, but I intentionally reached for the Tylenol yesterday for a headache.
I never hesitated or thought twice about whether I should take it, and the thought that taking Tylenol would harm me didn’t cross my mind.
Acetaminophen is not the problem that some people seem to want to make it out to be.
What did bother me is that the Epstein files are not public right now. Convict and man in the Epstein files, Donald Trump, should go ahead and release them.
The autism claims are unfounded BS, but Acetaminophen is problematic for your liver. Small doses are fine, but a dose the size in the post could cause severe harm or death

And too much water will cause you to dilute the electrolytes in your body so much that you can no longer command your heart to beat.
Anything is dangerous if you use it wrong enough.
Yes but it’s a lot easier to OD on acetaminophen than water. If a person with severe pain is tempted to take more than 1 Tylenol every 8 hours, that would be an overdose.
For acetaminophen, there’s fewer than 500 deaths per year of acute liver failure that they believe is linked to acetaminophen overdose, in the USA.
For water poisoning, the only figure I could find is “a handful of deaths” per year in the USA. Seems that they don’t really track that one very closely.
Either way, we’re taking about a fraction of a percentage of the population being affected each year. Last I checked the USA had about 335,000,000 people, so 500 people is around 0.000015% of the population? Or one in ~670,000 people are going to die from it… per year.
If we’re going to split hairs over what’s more likely or what’s statistically possible, I wouldn’t bet on either of these. I’m pretty sure you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning or winning the lotto, than being offed by either, less likely if you have an ounce of intelligence to look up the safe daily dose of anything…
It’s a dumb argument to make to say what’s more likely. Ok, well, how about this, you’re more likely to be hit and killed by a motor vehicle.
It doesn’t mean anything.
Acetaminophen is known to be liver toxic in very accessable doses.
This does not necessarily lead to death, but does lead to a significantly reduced quality of life and lifespan.
You’re making a bad faith argument here, stop that bs.
Bad faith argument?
This entire discussion is a bad faith argument.
I’m just stoking the fire. That’s all.
The number of people in the US who die from acetaminophen overdose in a year is anywhere from 500 to 100,000 (!) depending upon which source I use. That’s what I got from a quick web search. While it’s odd (and suspicious) that there’s that wide of a range in the claimed mortality, the fact is that is still a lot more than the number of people who die from drinking too much water, which is so rare that it makes the news whenever it happens.
Acetaminophen is not the problem that some people seem to want to make it out to be.
No, it doesn’t cause autism, but there are certainly safer painkillers. That’s why I’ll take ibuprofen or aspirin instead, if I have a choice.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Yes but can you agree that the post is funny because it’s insulting reddit?
Spez’s mom must’ve severely OD’d on Tylenol when he was in her womb because he became an ultimate autism supreme commander.
No.
What?! Director of Network Control Systems for Union-Pacific?! I had such high hopes for you!
Why is this trending so much lately? I only know it’s autism candy or something
rfk jr is claiming that Tylenol (not acetaminophen, specifically Tylenol) causes autism and not vaccines lol
The real active ingredient was the BRANDING.
She’s gonna need more….
I love how they chose fucking acetaminophen as a drug to go after. Probably one of the literal safest OTC drugs, and we’ve known that for nearly half a century.
