this is your yearly reminder that activated charcoal, probably the most popular thing to use to make food black, interferes with your absorption of medication, including birth control. Enjoy the season safely.

How is squid ink? I don't know what element makes it black.

Throwback to picking kids up from summer camp, one of the kids had gotten a hold of his Ritalin from the camp nurse, and took 5 extra doses. Cue sitting in ER with kid, as they make him drink liquid activated charcoal, with apple juice to help wash it down. Not a good day.

explains all the july babies.

but good if poisoned

everyone knows i love all things Halloween but not ending up ill or pregnant or detoxing accidentally is very important. 💕

(agreeing) Mayo Clinic recommends at least two hours between the charcoal and any other oral meds. www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supple...
