Researchers who surveyed more than 6,000 students from three American universities found that nearly 8 percent said they thought they’d been slipped a doctored drink, while over 1 percent said they had sneaked one into someone else’s glass, according to the study published in Psychology of Violence. Foster says Full Stop received an influx of calls as Covid restrictions eased in Sydney at the end of 2021 and young people began going out and on dates “for the first time in a long time”. Among them, the New South Wales based sexual violence hotline noticed a “marked increase” in calls related to spiking. In the hopes of creating a safer environment for everyone, Fogarty landed on her project idea: a simple, color-changing sensor that can tell someone whether an antihistamine has been slipped into their drink. If an individual is wary of a drink, they can place a small amount of the beverage in a bottle, add a few drops of a provided pH adjuster until the liquid becomes a pale yellow, then put a dab of the solution on the sensor, which turns red or green depending on whether the liquid contains DPH or not.

If you're at a bar, club, or even in your own home and think someone has put an unknown substance in your drink or body, this is what you should do: Most commonly drink spiking is with other alcohol, partly because it’s easy to conceal alcohol in another alcoholic drink,” says Nicole Lee, a professor at the National Drug Research Institute. Alcohol is the most common substance used in drink spiking and can be just as dangerous as other substances. Typically, spirits will be used to make someone’s drink much stronger, so they are consuming more alcohol without realising and therefore become vulnerable.Lee says people do use drink spiking to commit sexual assault, but often it’s used to “prank” people.

Those who brought their own alcohol, drank beer or didn't drink any alcohol were not affected, the students told KOMO.Authorities do not believe the student who initiated the party was involved in spiking the drinks. Ferguson said the student is cooperating with police, who believe he became overwhelmed with the number of partygoers who showed up. Drink-spiking drugs are dangerous by themselves and more hazardous when mixed with alcohol and/or other substances. If you believe you or someone you know has been exposed to a drink-spiking drug, seek immediate medical attention, says K.

The hair is then cut into small 0.3cm sections to narrow down the period being looked at and to have a better chance of finding any substances.
