As early as 2012, a netizen in Nanjing, Jiangsu posted a post saying that “someone attacked female college students with drugs in Jiangning University Town”, and then the police informed that the actual situation was that a couple of students had quarreled with the poster Qi and visited and investigated. There was a tug and hug, and the poster mistakenly thought it was an attack.

Confuse
Rumor publishers use audience panic
Does this kind of "drug" that can fall down at the first smell and faint at the first cover really exists?
On the afternoon of April 18, Qing Enming, the chief physician and professor of the Department of Anesthesiology at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University, told the Beijing Youth Daily that there is currently no such “drug that makes people fall at the first sight and lose consciousness instantly”. ".
Take the inhaled anesthetic "sevoflurane" as an example, it needs to reach a certain concentration, and at the same time, the patient needs to wear a mask with a very good seal, and after a certain time of action of the drug, can it play the role of anesthesia.
"This kind of'medicine' that exists in martial arts novels is inconsistent with the reality. As far as I know, there is no such fast medicine in clinical practice. Like inhaled anesthetics, after inhaling the drug, it travels from the respiratory tract to the lungs. It takes a certain amount of time to pass through the blood and finally to the brain. General anesthesia, the fastest (anesthesia method) is intravenous injection. A needle is pushed through the vein, and the anesthetic enters the blood and is quickly distributed to the brain. There is a loss of brain consciousness and sleep. There are also children who have surgery to inject (medicine) from the anus and rectum, and they are absorbed (acted) through the rectum, but this time is slower and longer." Qing Enming said .
"If it is a taxi driver who locks the passengers in the taxi, and then opens a bottle of anesthetic, it will take more than an hour to be effective. Normally, this is impossible." Qing Enming said.
Qing Enming analyzes that such rumors have emerged over the years because the publishers of the rumors may wish to use this information to attract people's attention, and the publishers of the rumors took advantage of the panic of the audience.
Experts reminded that in order to prevent being "medicated", firstly, do not drink drinks or food from unknown sources; secondly, if you encounter strangers who try to touch unknown objects or liquids on your body, you should avoid them in time; Don’t believe or panic about the “drugged” messages on the Internet that “you will fall down when you smell it, and you will faint when you cover it”.
