Yeah, the issue is that it's time consuming. Stopping to wait for the meter to go down actually takes more time than just letting it fill up and mashing it out.
Not getting it in the first place is easy enough, but I feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of the game. Also a new player wouldn't know about it.
It's something that I think should be adjusted before the actual release. Either the devs should make it easier to remove by making the recipe/ingredients available earlier, or it should be less annoying to have.
One way I could think of would be to have it actually be even more debilitating, but it goes away after it procs once. That encourages you to not let it happen in the first place, but if it does, it's only a problem for a little bit.
