Seriously, acetaminophen is a deadly poison, and is lethal to many animals, especially mammals and reptiles. That, in small doses it acts as an analgesic in *humans* doesn’t change this basic fact.

“Acetaminophen overdose sends as many as 78,000 Americans to the emergency room annually and results in 33,000 hospitalizations, and 300 deaths a year, federal data shows. Acetaminophen is also the nation’s leading cause of acute liver failure.”

Yes, when properly used, it makes a fine analgesic. However I would *never* give it to a pregnant woman or a young child.

Certainly. My killer of choice is naproxen. Better than having my head explode...
