The lethal dose for caffeine is about 150 milligrams per kg of body weight. While the average person’s caffeine consumption is around 200 milligrams a day, the Mayo Clinic advises against exceeding 500 to 600 milligrams per day.

You may want this much energy but be warned, energy drinks can kill.
It would take a ridiculously huge number of ANGRY WOMBAT energy drinks to kill a 14 year old weighing, say, 48 kg. Nevertheless, some kids are more sensitive to caffeine than others and then much lower levels of consumption of energy drinks can be fatal.

According to the AstraZeneca Media Release, 22 March 2021, “The AstraZeneca US Phase III trial of AZD1222 demonstrated statistically significant vaccine efficacy of 79% … based on 32,449 participants accruing 141 symptomatic cases of COVID-19. The trial had a 2:1 randomisation of vaccine to placebo.”
“A careful review of all available safety dataof more than 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union (EU) and UK with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca has shown no evidence of an increased risk …”
An updated company analysis of the coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford showed that the two-shot regimen was robustly effective — 76 percent at preventing symptomatic illness — according to a news release from the drugmaker late Wednesday.
Among people 65 and older, the vaccine was 85 percent effective, the company reported.
UK plus & 30 EU countries have administered 34 million AstraVeneca doses and report a blood clot condition in 222 patients and 18 fatalities.
Risk Factor for blood clots = 1: 153,000
Risk of death ~ 1: 2,000,000
Many countries including Australia advise the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for the 50+ age group as the blood clot condition appears mostly in younger patients.
Choco Yum Yum! Mathspig lervs chocolate. But did you know chocolate can kill you?
Chocolate contains a chemical called Theobromine. This alkaloid ( other alkaloids include cocaine, nicotine, caffeine, and strychnine) can kill humans. More infoWired Magazine.
How much chocolate is too much?
Firstly, the darker the chocolate the more Theobromine it contains.
According toAbout Chemistrybased on the highest possible toxicity:
* Vetmedicine: Cooking chocolate contains 8-10 times the Theobromine in Milk Chocolate.
According toWiredlarge doses of theobromine may cause “nausea and anorexia ….. sweating, trembling and severe headache.”
The Royal Society of Chemistrynotes that chocolate does not contain caffeine, but theobromine induces similar symptoms.
LD50 for the lethal dose for 50% of the population for Theobromine is:
