Consumption of Charcoal to Treat Food Poisoning


Recommended Posts

In real life, you can consume Charcoal in order to cure Poisoning in the body. The proteins of charcoal bind with the poison and then push them out of the body (either by throwing up or sitting on the toilet). While I realize that Antibiotics in the form of Reishi Tea, Burdock Tea, and Pills are already used to acquire this treatment, I still believe that this would be a great asset to have for 100-1000 day runs on Interloper.

I like this idea, you get a vote.

 

I don't think charcoal contains protein in any notable amount... If I'm not mistaken, it's the surface area of the activated charcoal that makes it so good at what it does.

Is there a difference between activated charcoal and just plain charcoal from a campfire? Probably so...

There's actually not which is kinda funny, both are just carbon 

Activated charcoal is carbon with a very large surface area, which helps it absorb things or react with other elements

You can make activated charcoal by taking charred materials (pure carbon) and grinding them down in a mortar and pestle, or similar
