I never said it was exclusively human. Just irrevocably human.

Chemical dependence is not addiction. If someone is not addicted they will have no problem being "sick" for a while while withdrawals happen.
Addiction shows itself in the actual decision the continue the chemical to push the withdrawals into the future. But chemical dependence, by itself, is not addiction.

Addiction isn't a craving for a chemical. Addiction is the willingness to take harmful action that distracts from some underlying pain. You can be addicted to things like work, shopping, or video games.
This will never be cured. Its like asking if 'distraction' can be cured. It is an element of the human condition.
The best that can be hoped for is effective, individual therapy that focuses on correcting the underlying issue.

Reply to My thermostat uses the expansion/contraction of a drop mercury to conduct electricity and trigger when to turn off and on. by Iain_MS
Na, its using a bimetallic strip to move the glass in the tube. The mercury slides back and forth, and makes contact with the conductors only one one side.

>Any large muscle group will do
This is not always true, even if it applies to covid vaxes. Muscles vary greatly in their receptor expression.
