No me, I'm still busy with some IRL things, but I need to vent and everyone it's too late in the evening to call someone.

I was trying to look up properties for epsom salt online, as one does, and tearing my hair at only getting DeTox scam sites in my results. The least offensive of them was suggesting that I should use two parts of epsom salt (magnesium sulfate, very much not a table salt) and one part bicarbonate mixed in a single glass of water as a laxative. Hint: this is a huge red flag.

Fortunately, I currently have access to some scientific journal databses! Hooray for University Libraries!

I'm 20 articles deep and still haven't verified the home remedy properties that I was looking for, but I have found several articles along the lines of: "Severe hypermagnesemia after enteral administration of Epsom salts" "Hypermagnesemia-induced fatality following Epsom salt gargles" "Fatal hypermagnesemia caused by an epsom salt enema"

"Severe liver injury due to Epsom salt naturopathy" was probably the one most closely resembling the salty shitmaker I found while googling epsom salts. From the abstract: "A 38-year-old non-alcoholic, non-diabetic man with gallstone disease was prescribed three tablespoons of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate crystals) with lukewarm water for 15 days for 'stone dissolution' by a naturopathy practitioner. Percutaneous liver biopsy revealed submassive necrosis with dense portal-based fibrosis, mixed portal inflammation, extensive perivenular canalicular and hepatocellular cholestasis with macrovesicular steatosis and perisinusoidal fibrosis (suggestive of steatohepatitis) without evidence of granulomas, inclusion bodies or vascular changes suggestive of acute drug-induced liver injury ( figure 1 ). Common adverse effects of Epsom salt overuse include diarrhoea, dyselectrolytaemia, renal injury and cardiac arrhythmias."
