claim: “Buy yourselves charcoal activated tablets […] it will counteract most date rape drugs”
evidence: AFFIRMATION COMPLETE: "Guys please buy yourselves Charcoal activated tablets & carry them with you to any gathering or night club. Should you feel like you aren’t yourself or out of place, drink one tablet & it will counteract most date rape drugs." [...] Though activated charcoal is the most used method of gastrointestinal decontamination in the developed world, an activated charcoal tablet would not be useful to counteract date rape drugs in the manner described in the Facebook post. The dose of activated charcoal in tablets is too low and the formulation is not ideal. The activated charcoal tablets would need to be taken soon after the date rape drug, which can be hard because many of the drugs associated with DFSAs are odorless and tasteless, and are absorbed quickly by the body. Lastly, activated charcoal would have no effect on alcohol, which is the drug most commonly associated with DFSAs and does not adsorb to activated charcoal.
