The problem here isn't with the opiate, hydrocodone, but rather with the acetaminophen (Tylenol) that it's combined with - as in Vicodin. You see, the acetaminophen becomes very toxic as it slowly oxidizes (rusts?) in the presence of air - actually, it's the oxygen in the air -. Even in a sealed prescription bottle enough air was let in at the pharmacy to slowly begin the process of OXIDATION.
