If the overheating happened as a side effect of the acid, and the person had generally never had issues with overheating, it’s a very small jump to say that acid caused it.
That said, I’m less convinced that it raises your core body temp enough to kill you.
- LoganDark 2y agoAcid caused the overheating, sure; overheating caused the death. At this point I'm nitpicking, but it's a relatively important semantic difference. Some substances can outright kill you but LSD generally will not.
- anal_reactor 2y agoDriving fast is very safe, it's the sudden deceleration that's dangerous!
- LoganDark 2y agoDriving fast is not safe, because there is the risk of sudden deceleration and death. But you indeed don't get killed by driving fast, you just end up killed.
- borski 2y agoThis kind of nit is not worth picking, imho. Jumping off a bridge doesn’t kill you; hitting the ground or water does. But not always. So is jumping off a bridge not the cause of death? Should we say blunt trauma?
- LoganDark 2y agoIf you jump off a bridge to your death nothing can save you. If you take something that raises your body temperature it is still possible to compensate. But yes in that case blunt trauma is the cause of death and the blunt trauma occurred because they jumped off the bridge.
- borski 2y agoOkay, we’ll just agree to disagree on this one.
