Is it bad for you to reuse Loose Leaf Tea? If it is, why?

Someone said to me that after steeping Tea Leaves in boiling water & then leaving it sitting there for an hour or so, and then coming & re-brewing with the same leaves, the chemical make-up of The Tea leaf changes. Is this true or completely wrong?

well, the tea you brew will be weaker, maybe more acidic, but it hasn’t changed to a poison or anything.

but it is important to not let the tea leaves stay damp for hours and hours, whihc will encourage mold.
