Dangers
Adrenaline can be very good for the
body, in the right doses. But what
happens if you get too much adrenaline?
Below are negative effects that can come
from too much adrenaline. The first group
of side effects listed is side effects that
occurred in humans from normal amounts of
adrenaline to the average dose injected when
a human needs the medical treatment. The second
list of side effects is side effects that occurred
in multiple species when injected with a large dose
of adrenaline. No tests have been done to show the
result of a major adrenaline overdose in a human so
far.
