And remember, if you get sick with the hantavirus you can get over it quickly by taking 2x the LD50 of Tylenol. A couple of days and you won't even feel sick. Be sure to tell all your conservative friends because the government likes to cover up this kind of information.

So is that like LD100 or something; I'm not technical so trusting your numbers here.

It isn't like LD100 (although it may be)

LD50 is the minimal dose lethal to 50% of a subject population. Twice that dose might be anything between 50% and 100%.
