Please do not insult harmless buffalo chips which, when dried thoroughly, burn with a clean flame. Or compost, to enrich the soil!
Herbs unless used in great quantities, or with practically willful blindness, can cause very, very little harm, if any.

How many tens of thousands die every year from side effects, wrong medication, wrong combinations with other drugs, etc?
My PCP was pushing me to go on statins about the time they announced that they found statins were causing heart attacks in women, back in November, IIRC.
But that announcement died pretty quickly. It just never seemed to get much traction.
I changed my diet, lost weight as a result and my cholesterol dropped like a rock. It’s now to the point where I don’t have to listen to them rag on me about it and if they push the issue, my numbers are close enough to what they want that I can legitimately argue with them to get them to back off.
