That is the dumbest thing I have heard, the statement about antidotes, not what you said. First I would never want to get gassed thats bad enough. 2nd if its to the point I have to use the antidote thats worse. Last the antidote itself messes you up and can leave you with health problems. Think about something like nerve agent how bad it must be to mess with the human body, so the antidote would have to be something just as strong. In fact there are antidotes for the antidotes.

Atropine will not result in lasting damage to the victim as long as it is not given to excess.

The prefilled dosing pen that they have is well within a safe dose for this type of exposure.

Atropine is used for lots of things. For dangerously low heart rate, organophosphate poisoning and it is even used in prescription diarrhea medicine.
