A woman at a nightclub on Saturday night was taken by 5 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 and along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood, was Progesterex,
>which is essentially a small sterilization pill. The drug is 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
>girl's 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 drug's effects ARE NOT TEMPORARY- They are
>P*E*R*M*A*N*E*N*T! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses.
>Any female who takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get
>this drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any university. It's that
>easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big everywhere.
>Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how
to use it. Please COPY (NOT FORWARD) this to >everyone you know, especially
girls.> Be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended.
&gt;Please make the effort to PASS this on to all you know... -----<FONT color=#ff0000>does any1 know ig this is this true?</FONT>

Similar emails went round about aids syringes in nightclubs and cinemas and nurses that take your kidneys in your sleep and leave you in a bath of ice.

Locally as a joint police operation volunteers here put little hedghogs in un-attended glasses in bars to show that their drinks could have been 'spiked' makes you think really.

Think my girly had her drink doped one night, luckily I was with my mate that managed to help her home too.

Such is the strange but evil world we live in.

Take care out there.

I can in some ways believe that these emails are hoaxs, but in our local pubs and nightclubs there are posters distributed everywhere with the same content as these emails. I just have one doubt in my mind and that is why has Hollyoaks (tv Programme) which is filmed in the area i live made a point of using this issue as a storyline? They usually do this to raise awareness.

Just curious!!!
