(Info taken from Deadly Doses: a writer's guide to poisons)

Name: Camphor. Other: Vicks Vaporub
Toxicity: 5 (5-50 mg/kg)
Form: Used in moth-damage preventives, camphor oil is a respiratory aid and a stimulant. It's also in mothballs. As a medication, it can be administered topically, orally or intramuscularly by injection.
Effects and symptoms: Early symptoms include headache, sensation of warmth, excitement, nausea and vomiting. There is a camphor odor on the breath, the skin becomes clammy, and the face alternates between being flushed and pale. Symptoms include burning in the mouth and throat, epigastric pain, thirst, feelings of tension, dizziness, irrational behaviour, unconsciousness, rigidity, rapid pulse, slow respiration, twitching of facial muscles, muscle spasms, generalized convusions and circulatory collapse. Convusions occur by stimulating the cerebral cortex cells. Autopsy findings include congestion, edematous changes in the intestinal tract and destruction of the kidneys and brain.
Reaction time: Fifteen minutes to one hour. Absorbtion through the mucous membranes occurs rapidly. Toxic levels may be achieved after prolonged vapor inhalantion and within a few minutes after ingestion.
Antidotes and treatment: Gastric lavage and administration of activated charcoal. Vomiting is not induced since it might cause seizures. Valium is given for agitation and convulsions and hemodialysis is sometimes done to help with the elimination of the drug.
Notes: There is a pleasant smell.

Note to self: do not eat or inject Vicks.

I'm surprised Law and Order hasn't used Vicks Vaporub poisoning as a cause of death in some alarmist anti-rave episode. I'm sure the manufacturer of Vicks would sue...

I beleive the following case set the precedent for Vicks related deaths.

"Kandi Raver Dies of PLUR"

The death of a 17 year old girl last week has prompted calls for the state-wide banning of Vicks Inhalers. The girl was attending an underground 'rave' party where she was allegedly forced to perform a number of bizzare 'raving' ritual's. These rituals are apparently 'common-place' with an extremist cult that is known as the 'Kandi Ravers'.

The father of the deceased has spoken out against this dangerous faction which is best known for its populist war cry; 'PLUR'.

Mr Mariachi stated, "After drugging my daughter with ecstasy, the cult members hypnotised her with glowsticks (a ritual known as a 'light show'), before performing the ultimately deadly attack by blowing Vicks in her eye's. How many people need to die before these deadly weapons are taken off the market?"

Criminologist Thomas Percy has compared the bizzare death to the methods used by the Colombian Mafia.

The autopsy results, released yesterday, conclude that the girl died of a 'serotonin overload', caused by combining MDMA with the intense euphoria created by having Vicks blown in your eye.

The use of glowsticks elevated the victims PLURness to dangerously high levels, before the Vicks acted as the catalyst in her death. In lamens terms; the user died of being too happy.

Witnesses at the scene reported the girl saying the word 'PLUR' over and over, before eventually collapsing as a result of the 'over-exuberant' 'Vicks Blowing' of a fellow cult member. The cult member was quickly apprehended by on-site police and taken in for questioning.

The suspect is believed to go by the 'party name' of "*PLUR BOY*", but charges are yet to be laid. If he is convicted of murder, it will be the first case in which someone has used a 'Vicks Inhaler' to inflict fatal damage.

Dr Nick Riviera, a scientist at Sydney University has been a long-time supporter of the theory that combining glowsticks and vicks with MDMA may have adverse consequences;

"The problem with Vicks inhalers is that most users don't realise the potentially harmful problems that may result from frequent use. Some users have reported a minty discharge from the eye-socket and others have been temporarily blinded. This is one of the first cases I have encountered where a victim actually died as a result of being too happy."

The idea of 'serotonin overload' is not new however, several ravers have been committed to mental institutions after their parents discovered that they were infected with the dangerous virus known as 'PLUR'.

Not to be mistaken with 'SARS', 'PLUR' is not deadly in most cases. 'PLUR' is most commonly spread through hugs and by sharing pacifiers and chuppa chupps at illegal 'rave' events.

A federal investigation has been launched into the role of vicks inhalers, glowsticks and other 'rave tools' in potentiating the possibly deadly effects of the 'PLUR' virus.

The 'National Rave Association' (NRA) however, is claiming that the dangerous Vicks Inhaler stunts are the actions of an uprising cult faction and have condemned the attacks.

Over the last 5 years, many ravers have become jaded by the increased spread of the 'PLUR' virus. A World Health Organisation study has estimated that by the year 2050, Kandi Kids will outnumber humans by 3:1.

While this is the first death as a direct result of 'PLUR', the study
estimates more than 6 billion people could become inflicted with this potentially killer disease. Research is currently being under-taken to uncover a possible vaccine.

holy shit the plur army is at my door.. they are trying to make me stare at glowsticks SOMEONE HELP!

hahahahahah... great... this makes me want to go out and buy more vicks =D
 
What kind of army would PLUR kids be? Most of them can't even lift 10lbs.:p

LOL!

Where do I sign up for this cult? I need to be initiated.=D
 
David: Strength through numbers..
Instead of half a dozen beefy guys with machine guns they deploy a thousand unarmed kandi kids that all charge you at once.. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!

/mludd
 
FANTASTIC! So hilariously funny. I am emailing it all my friends. Not plagerising just too good to pass up!
 
That article was a great read. Best parts IMHO were about the hypnotizing the girl with a ritual known as "light show." Oh and the SARS thing. HAHAHA

“PLUR strikes again - Generous billionaire arrested as ecstasy rains from sky”

A wealthy Chinese businessman faces sentencing tomorrow and a maximum possible 25 years in jail after being convicted of distributing 250 000 ecstasy tablets and deliberately infecting people with the ‘PLUR’ virus. The illegal stimulant that costs producers less than $1 to make, is freely available to every 10 year old in the country and often contains harmful poisons such as rat-sac and cyanide.

In what police term a “bizarre crime of cataclysmic proportions”, Mr Chen Xiao used his corporate blimp to distribute the 250 000 tablets to a congregation of ecstasy addicts waiting in a remote concrete car park below.

The tablets were all imprinted with Mr Chen’s company logo, “Sony”. It has been uncovered that the stunt was a marketing ploy, designed at furthering sales of the companies hit game; Dance, Dance Revolution.

Specific members of the gaming and drug communities were invited to attend the mysterious event by an anonymous invitation. However, when the invitation inevitably found its way on to the internet, around 15 000 people gathered in the smallish car-park and things turned sour.

Mr Chen’s blimp dropped the ecstasy tablets, but many of them were poorly pressed by slave labourers in South East Asia and crumbled on impact. Most of the ones that didn’t crumble were packed in bags of 50, causing hundreds of injuries as ravers were struck on the head by the large bags.

One innocent bystander was disgusted when she walked past the car park and saw what was happening; “They were all fighting each other to get the ecstasy and when most of it had been grabbed, the e-tards began licking the concrete. Eventually, all that was left was an enormous puddle of PLUR. I wanted to help the poor victims, but I feared I would be infected with PLUR if I ventured too close.”

Police have estimated that of 15 000 ravers, approximately half were infected by the ‘PLUR’ virus. This alarming statistic has sent waves of panic through the large communist land-mass. A completely unrelated parent in Northern China was heard to say: "My 8 year old daughter will not be going to any more raves. The deadly virus is spreading and she could be next."

When asked why he would do such a thing, Mr Chen showed no remorse in saying; “It’s a known fact that ravers displaying symptoms of the PLUR virus, like to play DDR, we were simply engaging in effective product placement. What I have done isn’t a crime. This is a serious growth avenue in the marketing industry and firms are increasingly looking towards drugs as a method of promoting their products.”

Mr Chen is expected to get the maximum sentence for his heinous crimes against humanity and his family is expected to be blacklisted at all the good noodle huts in his local city.

Meanwhile, the path to *PLUR_BOY*'s execution has been dealt another setback, when it was revealed that key witnesses were actually on ecstasy at the time of the murder. The trial has been indefinately suspended as the prosecution also investigates claims of medical negligence by the examining physician, Doctor Nick Riviera.

Allegations have arisen accusing Dr Riviera of inventing his findings and failing to administer the correct antidotes and treatment: Activated charcoal, Valium and Hemodialysis.

The DPP is confident of a conviction. "The people have a strong case against *PLUR_BOY*. He was seen holding the murder weapon (Vicks Inhaler) and when we put him on the stand, the jury will be able to feel and be horrified by the evil PLUR oozing out of him."

In a logistical nightmare, anyone who enters the court must wear a full-bodied protective radation suit as the PLUR virus is easily transferable through air particles. Exposure to just one PLUR cell is enough to make a large male begin using the deadly inhalers and in more severe cases, the dangerous glowing sticks.

"Pothead's hot-box was too hot"

The effectiveness of fire alarms has once again come under scrutiny after a stoner almost died from smoke inhalation overnight. In a bizarre incident, Jason Sweater failed to wake up when his fire alarm was set off and his room filled with deadly cannabis smoke.

When authorities finally arrived an hour later, it was almost too late for the 24 year old. The police chief Smith Wesson described the occurrence as a "failure in the system" and an “incident of peculiar circumstance".

In an amazing turn of events, the man reportedly left an unbagged, commercial quantity of high quality cannabis sitting directly next to the fireplace in his bedroom. After becoming stoned on the pot, the criminal passed out on his bed in a dazed stupor.

Forensic Scientist's have determined that the marijuana caught alight and started to burn slowly, filling the sealed bedroom with the deadly smoke. Eventually the fire alarm went off, but the pothead slept through it and suffered severe smoke inhalation.

The hero of the day and first officer on the scene; Senior Constable Hardass stated: "When I first opened the door to the bedroom the pressure inside the room was unbelievable. I was knocked to the ground forcefully and engulfed by a cloud of smoke, instantly becoming stoned. However I managed to gather all my strength and fight the effects of the devil weed to make my way through the thick smoke and rescue the man."

The man was then transported by helicopter to St George hospital and remains in a critical but improving condition. Dr Shiva Singh who specialises in marijuana induced coma’s, is somewhat positive about Mr Sweaters outlook;

"His lung condition is improving, but it's his mind that is most at risk. He may be in this semi-catatonic state for up to several months and will probably be constantly high for around 5 years afterwards. What saved this man was his un-humanely high tolerance. He was able to inhale approx. 4kg of pure THC and survive. This man is a medial miracle."

Mr Sweater’s best friend Peter was able to shed some light on the situation. "Jason is a chronic marijuana addict and the 20ks he had was for personal smoke. I am shocked and saddened to hear about what happened. I'm not surprised he's going to make it through this, he's a real fighter and smokes around 15 grams per day."

Neighbours reportedly failed to call the police because his fire alarm gets set off at least 3 times a day as he is constantly smoking marijuana and methamphetamines. In a new systems proposal, all alarms will be linked to the main fire terminal and a call is sent out to the house when an alarm is set off. Fire engines would also be asked to frequently bypass drug-houses in the hope of better serving 'high risk' citizens.
