Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 We just had an inservice from our Medical Director telling us about this about two week ago. He said the gumies havebeen seen in the area, sadly when you tell a bunch of FF's something someone has to try it, from what I heard when it was done, it worked well. sealed Tupperware container left overnight in fridge will make gummies swell into giant vodka filled candy. Danger is unlike jello shots you can't controll how much vodka is in each one, making it easy to get alcohol poisioning, especially for young drinkers (target audience) who don't know how to say when. Also any children in the house may mistakenly eat them thinking they are plain gummies.as far as the tampons we heard that not just girls are doing this, yes recal mucosa maKes for a quick absorbsion. so if you find tampons in your sons room you got a problem, actually even before knowing this yo would have had a problem I think. These are both ways to get alcohol in the system without being detected, so usually younger under age kids are doing it, most adults would rather have the jello shots and know how much alcohol they are consuming.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Worse are " the enema people. " Wine, beer, and whiskey enemas have been the cause of many acute intoxications and some deaths. Talk to any big city medical examiner and you'll get the stories. Ugh.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 As a Father of 4 adult (legally that is) children I can tell you it's a hell of a lot easier for a kid to get way with crap of all sorts as teenagers than many folks think. I'm finding out just now stuff my kids did at 15 and my youngest is 22. I love the holidays when they are sitting around and one will say " hey remember the Louis did X back at the house in Philly " they relive it an I sit in awe saying " Did Mommy know about that? " . More often than not Mother did a d dealt with it keeping Dad like a mushroom. Someday I will need to talk to her about that. Louis N.

Ethanol would be very irritating to the vaginal mucosa and painful. Rectal mucosa has few nerve endings and less pain. > > I would wonder how a kid will make these at home? I know some parents are inattentive, some may make for the adult parties and the kid takes some. Boy, I'm sure not going to suggest any of this to my 15 yr old daughter!! > > Just play safe! > > > > > > We just had an inservice from our Medical Director telling us about this about two week ago.
