Method Visine OD

[Xerxes]

So this was brought up in another thread where a spouse killed her husband by poisoning him over three days with Visine. An OTC eyedrop medication to relieve redness and dryness. The active ingredient is called tetrahydrozoline.

From a database: The administration or ingestion of overdoses of Tyzine (tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride) Nasal Solution may result in oversedation in young children. Overdoses have caused hypertension, bradycardia, drowsiness and rebound hypotension in adults; a shock-like syndrome with hypotension and bradycardia may also occur.

Now others online have stated that ingesting Visine can cause diarrhea, or it takes months to kill. The spouse killed her husband in 3 days by poisoning his water with Visine.

What do you think? Is it viable?

So time to pass is somewhere between 3 days and 3 months? That's not good. Even at best, 3 days of being seriously ill suggests there are better methods out there.

On the plus side, the diarrhoea this will inevitably cause will mean you'll very possibly die on the toilet, which will at least bring some comedy to proceedings (or, if you're an Elvis fan, poignancy).

I'll at least die doing something I loved....pooping

You can purchase just the chemical only. Comes in 1G or 10G bottles. Highly toxic if you take a large dose of it. (750mg)

From Wikipedia:

A common urban legend is that a few drops of Visine in an unsuspecting victim's drink will cause harmless but debilitating bouts of explosive diarrhea akin to that of a laxative. This will not produce explosive diarrhea, but oral administration of Visine can induce dangerous side effects related to Visine's ingredient tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride such as:

• Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia)
• Blurred vision
• Nausea and vomiting (as opposed to explosive diarrhea)
• Difficulty in breathing or even a complete halt in breathing
• Elevating (hypertension) then dropping (hypotension) blood pressure
• Possible coma
• Seizures and tremors

So no explosive diarrhea. Although vomiting doesn't sound much better, at least you won't be stuck to the toilet. Or die on it.

Eye don't think this is a very good idea.

I Just bought this today figuring it would be good to have as an emergency back up if there would ever be something urgent pushing me to catch the bus immediately.... HOWEVER....



I just removed the wrapper, followed the directions, and yes I know how to open a bottle by pressing down and turning, even using this yellow gripper thing isn't working...

I cannot even open it and I've tried for almost 10 minutes now. If I try to take a sharp object to just cut through it, it'll spill all over the place instead of going down my throat...

of course, that's just my luck...

I feel like God is smiling knowingly (AGAIN!) smirking down at me, saying "see? I told you, I will sabotage every method you try to commit suicide again."

Aarrgh!!!!
Stop it God!












Too bad i never applied to work for the CIA people... Don't they get cyanide pills for emergencies?

Why do they get to have one and I don't? It's not fair!!!

I replied to your comment on the other visine thread with some info. It doesn't seem like a good method on its own.
