A man met this smartly elegant lady in a street. The lady approached him with a proposal of selling cheap perfume. The beauty and sweet talking of the nice lady mesmerized the young man into agreeing to do business.
In a twinkle of an eye, the lady sprayed some powder into the face of the unsuspecting gentleman. All of a sudden the lad lost his free will. He became an auto-suggestible hypnotised subject. The man did what the lady demanded of him without any question.
Like a shepherd taking his sheep to pasture, he lady the lady to his house. The man went literally to hand over all the valuables he had to the lady upon her wish. He actually helped in packing the items into the lady's car. She drove off leaving the man to sleep 36 hours on the floor of his house.
Upon waking up, the man was powerless to recall what happened or identify the lady. He had encountered the dangerous Devil's Breath.
The episode and many others happening all over the world is the new wave into #crimes committed using the world's scariest drug-scopolamine.
ORIGIN OF #SCOPOLAMINE
Hyoscine better known as scopolamine is a powder #manufactured by a chemical process from the seeds or flowers of the 'borrachero' shrub. It was formerly used in #Spiritual #Rituals in South American country of Columbia. When processed, the seeds produce 'Burandanga' a substance that over the #centuries has been used by ancient Colombians.
The drug 'Devil's Breath may be a combination of Scopolamine, Urban Legend or any other drug. It may be made of sorely scopolamine, a fact that is yet to be verified.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
If inhaled, the drug enters the bloodstream and enters into the brain. Since the drug is odourless and tasteless, the victim may not notice anything fishy. The drug also takes control of the brain so fast that immediately, the victim feels light headed and clumsy.
The drug interferes with the victims free will and acts like a #zombie, bidding the commands of his #oppressor without any question.
The drug blocks the initial stage of #memory and the victim cannot identify the culprits after the incident.
- How Is This Possible?

The amygdala is the part of the brain which among its many functions, deals with ensuring your memory. It is also the thinking part of the brain.
The amygdala is an almond-shaped section of nervous tissue located in the temporal (side) lobe of the brain. There are two amygdalae per person normally, with one amygdala on each side of the brain.

So the drug blocks or interferes with relaying of messages to and fro the two parts of #amygdala. It therefore shuts the thinking part of the #brain. Therefore, it is no surprise that the victims show willingness to carry out any command given.
- Devil's Breath shuts down that thinking part of the brain which is the amygdala.
NB
Did you know the amygdala is also concerned with #sexual urge or #libido.
MEDICAL USES OF SCOPOLAMINE
Reduces the #secretions of certain organs in the body such as stomach and intestines.
Used to ptevent #nausea.
Decreases nerve signals that trigger your stomach to vomit.
Can be used for #sea sicknesses.
It is also used in #surgical procedures
Overdose causes dangerous fast heart rate. It causes dilated pupils and toxic psychosis. Confusion, vivid #hallucinations, seizures or #coma may result. Sometimes it may cause #death.
PRECAUTIONS
NEVER leave #food or #drinks unattended when travelling or with strangers.
Do not accept food or drinks from strangers.
Travel in large groups.
NB
THE DEVIL'S BREATH is considered the wirld's deadliest drug. People are known ti have been gang #raped after being sprayed with the drug. Body parts like #kidneys have been removed from #victims.
The drug and uses are real and not #myths.
Beware!
Take care!
Be #cautious
#RESTEEM WIDELY.
