Yea, the girls definetly aren't killers, they are just mildly incompetent noble ladies who believe they won't ever be held responsible, especially when they are picking on a commoner known to be abused and bullied at home. (or at least that's the cover story anyways) They just went way overboard with their "prank". would have made more sense to put salt in the tea instead of medicine lol. Would have gotten the same disgusting bitter taste without the poisoning.

The lethal dose of table salt is roughly 0.5–1 gram per kilogram of body weight.

Early on, the intoxicant will cause a strong feeling of thirst, followed by weakness, nausea, and loss of appetite. More severe symptoms ensue, including confusion, muscle twitching, and bleeding in or around the brain. Death results by the swelling of the brain against the skull.

I mean, yes, injesting salt directly can be lethal but in a world without an understanding of chemistry it makes for a more rational prank than eye drop medicine lol

How bout they just don't put poisonous substances they don't know the consequences of ingesting into someone elses drink? The same prank with salt could have lead to the same consequence. If MC weighs like 50kg, ingests like 20g of salt, could easily end up very very sick. You know those mean girls aint gonna be going easy on the salt, they'd be dumping that shit in. There's nothing inherently better with salt compared to some eye drops when they don't know shit about what they're FEEDING to someone else.
