you get about 10X less than you need to kill you.

overdose not so much, side effects.. well, YMMV

I'm not getting into pH of cells. human soup buffer pretty much kills that whole thing for me. I'm just too much of a nerd.

preventing cytokine storm/sepsis will keep you from having symptoms. clear the virus faster etc. it won't stop you from being infected or infecting others. it's not a solution for communities that need it.

Lethal overdose is rare, but cinchonism is not and from what I have read it quite unpleasant and best to be avoided. Cinchonism can and has happened from consuming homemade tonic water made from cinchona. One common mistake that has caused overdosing is not properly filtering out the solids after boiling. The recipes are based on assuming that you won't be consuming the solids.

PS. It is my 2nd day on a prophylactic dose of quinine and so far I am still kicking. If I stop posting you will know why. <g>
