Just remember, don't take Tylenol if you are in pain, as you can die from liver poisoning quite quickly. "Engstrom suffered an accident in the lab when a monitor fell on his foot. He took too much Tylenol which caused liver toxicity, and died on December 1, 2020"[0].

- bufferoverflow 4y agoI don't see how you make a leap from "he took too much Tylenol" to "don't take Tylenol". Anything will kill you in a large enough dose. Drinking water will.
- semanticist 4y agoPossibly the important missed part here: the effective dose for paracetamol is alarmingly close to the dangerous dose. Dosage rules allow for 4g/day, 5g/day can cause liver damage. It's also common to find paracetamol in multiple products - so you can take some painkillers, then not realise that the lemsip you're taking for the sniffles also has paracetamol and now you've put your liver at risk.
