Prescription medications will only compound the problem; it is probably impossible to model or predict some of the chemical reactions (especially, side reactions) that could take place.
Some people die of anaphylactic shock if they eat peanut butter. Humans have a vast array of complicated chemical reactions, many which are not shared from one person to the next. There may be a day when the genome is completely mapped, and every chemical that a person may be exposed to is correlated with said chemical's effects. Not happening anytime soon, methinks. And then we'd all have to trudge through the documentation to figure out what will or won't kill us, and whether it'll be fast or slow. Given the penchant for people to watch the lunacy on tictoc, I don't hold out a lot of hope.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
