Cyanide, or scopolamine?


I've never heard that taking too much Scopolamine (she didn't do much) would kill you like that. Looked like there was some cyanide in that powder.

The usual adult dose is 1.5 mg... How much a person could tolerate above that I'm not sure.

But I doubt it would cause someone to give their wedding ring away... Although to be fair, Gina used hypnotism along with the drug, so that could be plausible.

I'm talking about how the girl died. FOAMING at the mouth. That is something cyanide does. It threw me off. I thought the mom would of known that, and figured Gina was trying to kill her.

The same thing happened on Chicago Fire when a drug addict ingested one crack rock. That definitely wouldn't happen (foaming at the mouth and convulsions). Similar thing happened an another episode when a college prank involving drinking a bottle of soy sauce.

Any overdose does that.Also she probably would have survived if she digested it.Snorting puts it all directly in the bloodstream.

I was on the same exact page as you. I thought for sure that the gypsy girl had tried to kill her with something else that she identified as Scopolamine and the wife would have realized it as soon as the girl died. I was shocked that she just assumed she OD'd, especially from a drug she knew nothing about.
