> acetaminophen

That's paracetamol for the rest of the world in case you were confused like I was.

I was curious about this and looked it up on google trends. It looks like acetaminophen is the more commonly searched term.

I get the results I'd expect: acetaminophen is the vast leader in the US and Canada only, while paracetamol totally dominates essentially everywhere else and is by far the more searched term globally.
Neither of these are safe for long-term daily use.
