Worth noting that you can easily obtain N-Acetyl Cysteine (e.g. from Amazon), which is an effective antidote to paracetamol toxicity (and the mechanism suggests it can be taken preventatively).
I don't think a mechanism suggesting that it can be taken preventatively is enough to suggest that it should be taken. It's a separate drug with it's own side effects.
Before taking it preventatively I would like to see studies that suggest that it's benefitial to take it in that fashion.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
