Activated Charcoal - Detoxifies / Adsorbs toxins

Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal chemically adsorbs (attaches to, not absorbs) and inactivates toxins.   E.g. snake and spider, venom, tylenol (acetaminophen), aspirin, penicillin, nicotine, cocaine, opium,  gasoline, kerosene, mercuric chloride,  antimony, arsenic, cyanide,  strychnine, and hemlock.

Activated charcoal has been made under controlled conditions.   Usually limiting oxygen, which significantly increases the adsorptive nature of the charcoal. Ordinary carcoal is simpy charred wood .

Activated charcoal may not adsorb alcohol
