Again, I'm not saying it never happens, but it is a very rare occurrence, and when it does happen, it's largely psychosomatic; these are chemicals with exact (albeit complicated) processes, and they don't remain in your body forever.

I'm not implying that anything physically stays in your system, and I agree with what you're saying. What I'm pointing out is that bad trips can be traumatic, and as such, it can be difficult to let go for some. It's just one of the risks that one takes when tripping, through the likelihood of such a situation is fairly low.
