In previous e-Alerts, I told you the story of Marcus Trunk, a young man who took paracetamol to address the pain from a sprained wrist. When Marcus developed a fever and began vomiting, he went to his local hospital. Doctors thought he had the flu and gave him more paracetamol. In less than a week, Marcus died of acute liver failure (ALF) due to unintentional paracetamol overdose.
