I infer that it's equivalent risk for each capsule regardless of the per-capsule dose or how long you've been taking the capsules. It would be equivalent of saying "plugging random USB sticks into a PC can be dangerous regardless of the reported capacity of the drive or how often you've plugged in a random stick and not been the victim of a ransomware attack." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago my guy are you lost permalink fedilink source parent
