3. Antidote for drugs, chemicals, and poisons
Charcoal is a very old remedy for treating poison in the body. If you accidentally ingest poisons like fertilizers, alcohol or bleach, a single large dose of activated charcoal can help in flushing out the poison in your body. Activated charcoal has the ability to absorb a lot of inorganic chemicals, pesticides, most organic chemicals, drugs, leads and mercury before they can do harm to your body. Once your poisoned, proceed immediately to the emergency room! There was once a bulletproof reader who recently took a substantial dose of Tylenol which is considered to be lethal to the liver. He immediately took a few activated charcoals after realizing his mistake and proceeded to the emergency room.
