query: Can you die from acetaminophen poisoning?
passage: Paracetamol poisoning
Paracetamol poisoning, also known as acetaminophen poisoning, is caused by excessive use of the medication paracetamol (acetaminophen).[3] Most people have few or non-specific symptoms in the first 24hours following overdose.[1] This may include feeling tired, abdominal pain, or nausea.[1] This is typically followed by a couple of days without any symptoms after which yellowish skin, blood clotting problems, and confusion occurs as a result of liver failure.[1] Additional complications may include kidney failure, pancreatitis, low blood sugar, and lactic acidosis.[1] If death does not occur, people tend to recover fully over a couple of weeks.[1] Without treatment some cases will resolve while others will result in death.[1]
passage: List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication
Drug overdose and intoxication are significant causes of accidental death, and can also be used as a form of suicide. Death can occur from overdosing on a single or multiple drugs, or from combined drug intoxication (CDI) due to poly drug use. Poly drug use often carries more risk than use of a single drug, due to an increase in side effects, and drug synergy. For example, the chance of death from overdosing on opiates is greatly increased when they are consumed in conjunction with alcohol. While they are two distinct phenomena, deaths from CDI are often misreported as overdoses. Drug overdoses and intoxication can also cause indirect deaths. For example, while marijuana does not cause fatal overdoses, being intoxicated by it can increase the chance of fatal traffic collisions.
