        I’ve done a few “homeopathic overdose” things, in front of homeopathy believers. It’s hilarious to see them immediately switch from “this is a super powerful medicine that you should take seriously” to “oh, it’s just SO safe you can’t overdose on it”, and then right around to “the fact that you took 200 sleeping pills and feel fine is because your energies are not aligned”

          I wouldn’t do that, but I’m fairly risk adverse when it comes to trying to correct people who are really invested in being wrong.

          Babies have died because of improper dilutions meaning the products had the actual substance in some amount, and downing an entire bottle might actually be dangerous for an adult.

        Indeed. But I don’t trust their QA not to have a highly shaken glob of lead make it through to the sugar pill
