    Maybe I’m a minority here, but do people typically buy medicines and not read the ingredients?

      That does seem to be the case.

      I was trained early since reading medicine labels is a good way to find a nearby generic that’s cheaper… but most of my partners have looked at me funny for doing so.

      I read the ingredients of what medicines I have to purchase, but almost everyone I’ve mentioned that to were oblivious; I’m assuming most people don’t read the info. You’d have to have a big red sticker on it saying that it could cause brain damage, and then maybe they’ll get the hint
