The rules clearly state on page three in the special cards Overview section under "Poison Spit & Shrink Ray""You can't get rid of these counters while you are in Tokyo, because it must be done instead of healing." This means that you can not use it to get rid of counters.
That is what it says in the rules that I downloaded from Iello's web site.
The rules that came with my copy of the game only state "Poison and Shrink counters stay in play and in effect even if Poison Spit leaves play"
Edit: I am not arguing the rule, I am on board with Iello's and Richard Garfield's ruling, I am just pointing out where the confusion is for those of us that have earlier editions of the game.
