People being like: “Why do you buy tasty chewable children’s aspirin when we already have extra strength aspirin in the house?”<\/p>\n
And it’s like, “I believe that people only need as much medication as does the job. I don’t need an extra strength aspirin when I feel a migraine coming on. I can use a children’s aspirin and stop the migraine before it starts.”<\/p>\n
Just because you can buy things directly from the grocery store doesn’t mean they’re automatically safe to use in massive amounts.<\/p>\n
Aspirin and Tylenol can kill you. So can alcohol, tobacco, and too much water.<\/p>\n
Too much water?<\/p>\n
Yeah, if you drink too much water in too short an amount of time, you can throw off your electrolyte balance. I imagine it being as though you’re changing the water in a fish tank, and rather than leaving behind some of the water the fish is used to, you just drain the tank completely and refill it with tap water.<\/p>\n
The result? Dead fish.<\/p>\n
Drinking gallons of water without adding some electrolytes, results in a dead person. It’s just how the body works.<\/p>\n
It’s the amount that makes the poison.<\/p>\n
A handful of chewable children’s aspirin spread out over a few days is no big deal. A handful of extra strength aspirin in that same amount of time could result in serious consequences.<\/p>\n
We are a society of too much. We need to first realize what “just enough” is before we overindulge due to lack of knowledge.<\/p>\n
I only need a low-dose aspirin to get the job done. Taking an extra strength aspirin just means wasting aspirin and possibly putting my organs at risk.<\/p>\n
There’s no reason for it.<\/p>\n
That being said, I recommend that people should keep low-dose aspirin around. Like, if you’re going to use aspirin anyway, why not have a variety to choose from depending on the reasons you need it?<\/p>\n
Even if you just keep aspirin around to grind them into powder and add water to mix up a paste to remove the pain from a possible scorpion bite.<\/p>\n
If you’re going to stock regular and\/or extra strength aspirin, low-dose aspirin is good to have. You might find out that you’ve been taking a much larger dose of aspirin than you actually need.<\/p>\n
You’re trying to get a job done. Not liquify your organs.<\/p>\n
And if you’re a Tylenol man? That’s even more reason to lean toward low-dose over extra strength since Tylenol can kill you dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
