Wait until people find out that paracetamol is a neurotoxin, especially for children, and is only available for sale because it got grandfathered in (it was in wide use when the FDA was formed).

Paracetamol is bad for the liver. You would die of an liver failure before any neurologic damage.

True if you're more than 5 years old. More than 3 doses under 2 and it affects neurodevelopment permanently.
