The Tylenol stuff is obviously fake but the next medical hoax might not be as clear. Be wary of: -specific brand names being called out when they share an ingredient with other products -inability to pronounce the substance at hand -nonspecific warnings

-lack of explanation for the mechanism by which a product makes someone sick or disabled - diseases with no known cure and/or genetic disorders having sudden and clear answers about their cause -OTC drugs but not prescription drugs being specified (like how Vicodin also has acetaminophen in it)
