Overpowering OwOnavirus

You can develop a drug that postpones the lethal effect of OwOnavirus; meaning you will still have owo-speak, but at least you won't die! (note: you will still be contagious, so good luck outrunning sec when they start hunting the infected)

There are two ways to make such a drug:

1. Outhealing the overdose damage

You would need a mix of Ultravasculine & Dexalin Plus with some Tricordrazine (to compensate for the brute damage caused by Ultravasculine). Since Ultravasculine is difficult to acquire in bulk (as a non T), this method should be used on cigars (as the amount of drug you put in there doesn't matter).

(note: if the Ephedrine buildup manages to reach the max cap of chem your body can hold, you will still die of overdose however it would take a long time)

2. Change part of the Ephedrine in your body to Desoxyephedrine

Phosphorus, iodine, ephedrine and carbon make desoxyphedrine. If you manage to change the Ephedrine in your body to Desoxyephedrine, part of the Ephedrine would be metabolised faster (0.5/s + 0.125/s vs 0.5/s).

Unfortunately, Desoxyephedrine will cause stuttering and Poison damage. That, plus the owo-speak will almost completely remove your ability to speak comprehensibly. And since you cannot see exactly what is in your body, you need to take the medicine blind. Not a suggested method unless you know exactly what you are doing.
