Good advice. Thanks!
the way activated charcoal works is it has a ton of nooks and crannies in the crystals that trap the poisons so that it doesn’t absorb out through the digestive tract to poison the body- then you eliminate it naturally-
in the hospital they pump activated charcoal into you, then let it set a bit then pump out your stomach- Yuck!
But having activated charcoal on hand is always a good idea- for emergencies- and even just for peace of mind if you suspect you might have eaten something that might have been bad- even if it wasn’t bad, the charcoal will do no harm- so better safe than sorry-
