A lot more people die from Tylenol, and millions accumulate damage to their livers, but it is still OTC, and people believe it's less dangerous than Aspirin.

- nucleardog 2y agoExcept that for women that are pregnant or nursing and babies under 6 months old, Tylenol _is_ less dangerous than Aspirin. (It's the only OTC painkiller or antipyretic available that's considered safe.) Which kinda leads us back to the greater point here... There are no simple answers to complex biological problems.
