Sometimes this is called "over use". People are exposed, directly or 
indirectly, to things so much that their bodies "get used to" having it 
in the blood stream, so when you do need it, its less effective. This is 
well known, with almost *everything*, especially if it effects nerves, 
brain function, etc.
