Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Snoope's says false on tampons. Not sure on Gummys but why not Jello Shots do work and are plentiful. Louis N.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So, did they bring them to a staff meeting? Would have made a lecture by the admin staff a little more tolerable :-) Yes, I've heard of the enemas. 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. 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. > Ed Escobedo > Corpus Christi Fire Dept. > > > Sent from my Samsung Epic™ 4G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
