You ever read a sentence, and all the words individually make sense, but you have to go back and reread it because your brain violently rejects that exact arrangement of words? That happened when I read the title of that report.


At least if anything good came out of it, "hydrofluoric acid enema" sounds like a loving amazing name for a grindcore metal band.

This is where I got it from.

When will humans learn not to stick things up their butts that aren't meant to go there?

Not talking about sexy time stuff built with the express purpose of going up your rear end, I'm talking about homemade enemas and various random objects I've seen or read about people getting stuck all up in there.

Also, reading that abstract was horrifying on its own, no way I'm reading the actual paper. :gonk:

The paper deals with the medical consequences of putting hydroflouric acid in your butt. Unfortunately, no detailing as to the reason why the dude decided to put it in his butt :saddowns:.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Although you are probably right in that he likely wasn't 100% there in the first place.

I'm not sure if this is the same incident (has an HF enema happened more than once?!?) but I read about this happening - the guy wanted to kill himself and decided an HF enema was the perfect way to go about it.

You can still buy dilute (~1% or so) phenol solutions in drug stores in America for treating sore throats. What you do is spray it in your mouth, let it sit in your throat, then spit it out.

Never done that either. How is just spitting it out supposed to work when it's in your throat?

'Course, I used to be an embalmer, so I'm already doomed for anything phenol will do to you.

(Chloraseptic throat spray tastes like how I imagine licking a prep room floor tastes.)

"intranasal cocaine administration" 11 syllables

"hosed up on blow" 4 syllables

Overwrought medical terminology is trash, I know WHY they do it but sometimes it seems really dumb and excessive.

To be fair, the former specifies the method of loving up. Maybe if he'd shoved the cocaine up his rear end instead of his nose, an HF enema might not have seemed like such a good idea.

This bugged the poo poo out of me last time I went to buy this stuff. It all said to spit it out. I talked to the chain drugstore pharmacist? hopefully? about it and she thought it was weird too and said to go for it. Both of us agreed that we never once spit it out when using the stuff throughout our lives. Not dead yet!

The ones that do the same thing in lozenge form worked waaaay better anyway.

Wait, why would they use methanol as an additive? I thought it was tasteless, so you wouldn't notice it until your optic nerve's shot to hell.

Probably because they're worried hobos are desperate enough to drink denatonium, and think that they would care about methanol poisoning?

It's almost impossible to separate out effectively enough with home equipment, and back during Prohibition the government didn't give a gently caress about poisoning people.

For an excellent discussion of this fact, see The Poisoner's Handbook, a history of the foundation and early years of the New York Medical Examiner's Office, the first employer of a full-time toxicologist. It has a lot to say about The Fed's insistence that illicit drinkers were lawbreakers, so it was their own fault if they died.

Same reason we contaminate perfectly good pain meds with acetaminophen so that liver failure will be a deterrent to abuse: we're a bunch of Puritans who think that addicts need to be punished instead of treated.

We're in the business of extending man's senses.
jamaica ginger was a ginger extract during the prohibition. it was ginger in ethanol.

the government mandated that it had to contain a certain amount of ginger solids, in order to render it undrinkable.

some clever bootleggers asked an MIT professor what they might use to make their product seem to have more solids in it when examined (so they could bypass the limits and sell to people who wanted booze). the MIT professor recommended a plasticizer, tri-o-tolyl phosphate.

the bootleggers did not mention that the extract was intended for human consumption.

TOCP is an organophosphate.

My guess is that it has some of the same production styles as Rhum Agricole (http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/06/what-is-rhum-agricole-martinique-spirit-best-brands.html) and thus has a 'vegetal, earthy' taste. This translates to a taste of soil or cow dung a little bit into it.
