Helix Broad-Spectrum Antitoxin Kit
Broad-spectrum antitoxin; neutralises poisons and treats diseases.
The Helix Antitoxin Kit is a blunt instrument against the verse's biological threats: a cocktail of chelation agents, enzyme inhibitors, immune stimulants, and pathogen-binding antibodies that overwhelms most common toxins and pathogens through sheer chemical weight. It works on industrial chemical exposure, common biological weapons, standard venoms, and the majority of diseases that spread through human populations. It does not work on everything. Gene-crafted pathogens -- the kind Helix itself manufactures for the Legion's bio-warfare division, and the kind that occasionally leak from Helix labs -- require targeted treatment that a broad-spectrum kit cannot provide. Alien xenotoxins are unpredictable and may not respond to human immune chemistry at all. And Fold-taint is not a toxin or a pathogen in any chemical sense; the antitoxin kit treats it with the same efficacy as a bandage treats a broken heart. Within its limits, the kit is cheap, effective, and ubiquitous. Helix sells millions of units per year.

Notes
Capacity: four auto-injectors containing broad-spectrum antitoxin compound (chelation agents, enzyme inhibitors, immune stimulants, pathogen-binding antibodies)
Effect: Neutralises one active poison or toxin per dose (DC 10 Medicine check; +4 bonus if the toxin has been identified by a diagnostic scanner). Treats one 'poisoned' or 'diseased' condition per dose. Provides 4 hours of prophylactic immunity to common biological agents. Cannot treat Fold-taint, gene-crafted pathogens above industrial tier, or alien xenotoxins (requires specialised treatment). Each dose is a single auto-injector.
