Medical chem is fucking wild. I remember doing an assignment on smog in the US for an intro Chemistry class, and part of it was to describe the reactions that make things like ozone harmful to breathe. Then you read up on it and it's basically "we don't know exactly what the reason is but it definitely fucks your lungs lol"
Hahahaha, right?? Never have I seen the phrase "this does that but we don't know why" so many times in science as I have since being prescribed various medications.
Which... is concerning? Cuz it's our bodies, right? But I guess, if it works it works! Hahaha
