+  - bugfix: "Potassium Chloride/Chlorophoride now properly stop the heart as intended."
+  - tweak: "Potassium Chloride takes time to kick in, and metabolizes a little faster. It still requires 20u minimum to stop the heart."
+  - tweak: "Potassium Chloride/Chlorophoride no longer cause toxins damage. Stopping the heart is enough."
