8 pills kills!!! (Tylenol, Dolo, Panadol to name a few)

Information is power. Can we please get this information out to people? I have a lot of anonymous readers so please help me.

"If treatment is received within 8 hours of the overdose, there is a very good chance of recovery.

However, without rapid treatment, a very large overdose of acetaminophen can lead to liver failure and death in a few days."

Tylenol, Dolo, Panadol, Alvedon (if you're Swedish). Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is extremely lethal if taken in high quantities.  Then why do they sell it like candy everywhere?  All information about this drug "in everybody's handbag" is out there,  available on Internet. 

A doctor said that the world's most famous "Lady D" tried to commit suicide with....this over the counter pill.  I don't if that's true but it made me interested in the most common pain killer. In India where I live right now the general public thinks that 10 pieces of 2mg Valium will kill you, yet sell Dolo 500 (paracetamol) like rice. You only need to take 8 of these pills to overdose.

 It's the same all over the world. ..people "know things" when they're clueless.  You know the story about the Emperor's New Clothes?  It's about a very vain emperor who loved expensive garments. Two tailors came to his court and managed to convince everyone,  including the Emperor  that the costume they've made for him was the most exquisite in the world.  So the Emperor bought what turned out to be the most expensive garment in the world. ...and paraded his kingdom completely naked.

Just because everyone agrees, general public, pharmacy companies and world governments. ..does not make it right at least when it comes to this drug.  It's very dangerous if taken in huge quantities, which is very easy to do. You just buy a bag of "candy" at the store on the corner and swallow.  

More about the Emperor:

"The expressions The Emperor's new clothes and The Emperor has no clothes are often used with allusion to Andersen's tale. Most frequently, the metaphor involves a situation wherein the overwhelming (usually unempowered) majority of observers willingly share in a collective ignorance of an obvious fact, despite individually recognising the absurdity. A similar twentieth-century metaphor is the Elephant in the room." Click for more info
