章 613: Toxins and Poisons

"Side effects of eating too many pills? There's something like that?" he wondered and sat down to read the book.

At first, Alex didn't give much thought to the book as the title felt more of an attention grabber than something that was actually true. 

It was like those clickbait titles he would find on the internet all the time. However, as he kept on reading, his eyes narrowed as things that he hadn't thought of before but were clearly important were mentioned in the book.

According to the book, when one consumed a pill, the pill needed time to take effect. Even after the pill did take, there would be some lingering effects that would take time to leave.

This was theorized to be likely due to the powder of the pill getting stuck on the walls of the meridians as they are sucked in through the bloodstream when the body is trying to absorb the energy.
