Discussion

Very dangerous. You can kill someone injecting air.
The article is horrendously badly written but I'm guessing they are being injected with some sort of drug.It's becoming quite common because girls cover their drinks now to avoid spiking. Cases in Liverpool and Manchester too apparently.
My daughter is at Exeter Uni and a girl there was injected last weekend, taken to hospital unconscious, not heard the final outcome yet.
Obviously very concerning for parents.

Seems to have woken up in hospital and assumed the needle mark and big bruise on the back of their hand was from something other than a drip. At least that's the right sort of mark and location.
Quite possibly got totally blackout pissed and fell over and needed some saline and then jumped to conclusions.

My teenage daughter was at Stealth last week and Rock City a few weeks before that, both clubs in Nottingham where this has just happened.
I’ve gone from total elation of seeing her and her mates finally getting out there and partying after lockdown, just like I did 30 years ago and then she tells me about this.
I hope genuine harm comes to people who do this kind of thing or think that it’s acceptable.

There seems to be spiking someone with a needle and spiking someone's drinks and I think they are getting a bit confused.
Spiking someone with a needle is particularly concerning and new. Although cases seem to be minuscule in the overall picture of social nights out.
Spiking drinks seems really hard to measure. I have friends in the 'medical support' arena and the number of times they have helped a woman out who had 'had her drinks spiked' only to then find she had 4 double vodkas, a couple or shots and a beer is ridiculous. One young woman was on TV saying that on her first freshers night her drinks were spiked and she didn't remember anything. There was even a video of her and it is very hard not think she just got battered on her first proper night out.
As I said, the number of drinks that really are spiked is almost impossible to gauge.

This. How even a trained dr/sn/ phlebotomist could on the fly cleanly inject a amount into someone’s hand without them noticing, in a busy club ?!?Quite possibly got totally blackout pissed and fell over and needed some saline and then jumped to conclusions.
It’s like the drink spiking which all young women attending ED claim. Subsequently it turn out they have had a couple bottles of wine BEFORE leaving the house to head out to the pubs …

It sounds like total BS to me.
I’m not saying it’s never happened, but it’s not “a thing”
Why do you think drink spiking/needle spiking is not "a thing"?I’m not saying it’s never happened, but it’s not “a thing”
Obviously there have been cases of spiked drinks, I just don't think it's moved on to injecting people.
If anyone has any medical evidence then I'll happily change my mind.
