‘Progesterex’- date rape drug making the rounds?
Progesterex allegedly sterilises the rape victim permanently.
The Newcastle Advertiser received an alarming message on BBM regarding an alleged new ‘date rape’ drug making its rounds nationwide.
The message read:
“Saturday night a young girl from Durban, Wentworth was taken by five men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her.
Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood, with Progesterex, which is essentially a small sterilization pill.
The drug now being used by rapists at parties to rape and sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals.
Rumour has it that Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug. As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girls drink. The girl can’t remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before.
Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn’t conceive from the rape and the rapist needn’t worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later.
The drugs effects are not temporary- They are permanent! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses. Any female who takes it will never be able to conceive. They can get this drug from anyone who is in vet school or any university. It’s that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big everywhere.
Please COPY this to everyone you know, especially girls.
Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it.
Be careful when you’re out, and don’t leave your drink unattended.”
The good news
It’s a hoax!
According to Wikipedia, “Progesterex is a fictitious date rape drug that would purportedly cause sterilization. It is part of a hoax that began to circulate in 1999 via email on the internet. No actual drug by this name or even with these properties exists, and no such incident has ever been documented or confirmed.”
The community is encouraged not to forward hoax messages via social media.
Sparking unnecessary panic is never the answer!
