Reply To: Does taking on more chumros make one a greater tzaddik?

A machmir also needs to be carefull that his chumrah should not lead to other kulas like someone I know who didn’t want to take his medication passover because it was kitnios (an issur drabanan which dosen’t apply to a cholah even if it is determent not to be life threatening) and ended up in causing Hatzulah to take him to the hospital (many issurei deoyreisos).
