"Bath Salts" and Cannibalism

06/01/2012 3:46 PM

This is actually more of a pharmacology question but what gives with this sudden rash of people looking to eat other people, there have been four cases coming to light in the last week of people using this new synthetic designer drug that is sold as "bath salts" that have gone on cannibalistic binges. What is this drug doing to people's brains to make them suddenly hunger for human flesh? Is this the zombie apocalypse that everyone has been waiting for?

Trying to make sense of people who have gone insane, is itself madness. Trying to figure out a trend or a root cause from internet accounts can lead one to believe that the world will end this year, Mickey Mouse is a Nazi sympathizer, and that perpetual motion is a Bolshevik scam.

1. Mickey Mouse WAS a Nazi sympathizer, until Pearl Harbor.

2. Perpetual motion is not a Bolshevik scam- it is the root of Bolshevik philosophy.

3. I fully comprehend how someone can go insane in this modern world without the aid of bath salts or any other chemical stimulant, depressant or psychedelic aid. Does this mean I myself have succumbed to madness???

Hey All, I`m hear in Florida and on local new Friday they had a guy on those "salts" kill a few cat. On he ate the mouth and ears off of one and another riped apart with bare hands and ate insides. I dont know much about chemical analisis of the stuff or how it`s ingested and dont want to. But just soaking in it know this could happen if it entered the body, why even use it? I do like your quote more then the post, simple and tight is my mato. *PEACE* I like Mister Bubble- safe and non toxic!!

Why in the world would someone eat the ears off a cat? Now you've got del running around in circles.

Being a rich American, I hire people to raise cows. I hire people to kill them. I hire people to butcher them. I hire people to transport the meat to my local grocery. I hire people at the grocery to package it for me.

Cost?.................about ten bucks for a really nice steak.

I'm pretty certain that I won't be eating the ears off a cat or the face off a human any time soon.

WTF over?

[edit] Then again, bovine flatulence has been attributed to global warming, and my president has described dog meat as being chewy. Perhaps cat ears and human faces are not that far off. More than happy to justify my previous statement. Just ask.

So you're now lying about our president so you can criticism him on an engineering forum. That's lower than sad, that shows a deep sickness.

We had the same thing happening when vampirism was all the rage...We have a number of mentally unstable people in society that do whatever is popular, that obsess with cultural fads, and at times over indulge in drugs and other mind altering substances...These types of irresponsible behavior coupled with the instability and life's everyday pressures, sometimes form the perfect storm of escapism that manifests itself in these bizarre enactments of perverse display, that the media are drawn to without exception....

" Sane" people often kill people often kill people just out of anger. Cannibalism is sometimes sane for survival. In these cases you are right on.

For those not in America / haven't heard, this is the article that's relevant to this.

I'm waiting to see if the guy who was bitten tries to eat someone while recovering in the hospital. If he doesn't, we -might- have dodged a zombie apocalypse... for now.

It says LSD may be playing a role.

People that are doing that, have some serious issues going on, with or without LSD.

If it's bath salts......................I've never used them. Guess I won't start.

It's highly unlikely that LSD is involved. Ironically, LSD was used to sell "fake" psilocybin mushrooms and mescaline. A sort of generic dried mushroom was dosed with LSD and then sold as the genuine magic mushroom.

More ironie... The rap for selling LSD became rather stiff. So drug dealers began selling harsh hallucinogens such as those in the PCP family of drugs as LSD. These included PCP itself, along with BZ (a favorite of the US Army), GHB, and others that were relatively easy to synthesize. These drugs are either currently legal or carried a much lighter sentence if the dealer is arrested for possession for sale.

My guess is that "bath-salts" is another one of these very nasty alkaloid drugs, which is being sold falsely as LSD.

Had friends in high school that ate horse tranquilzers, smoked embalming fluid. Had a wife that decided she liked free base..................dead.

Kids.............heroin...............working on dead.

Pick your poison(s), keep it in moderation. Be true to yourself, and everyone around you. Be honest. Work hard. God doesn't smile on wealth, God smiles on the truth.

Be true.

This applies whether you believe in God or not.

I might as well continue.

Make eye contact. If the eyes are swimming in a sea of sorrow.................reach out.

It may well be the wife of a fallen soldier.

Don't look at the homeless with contempt. Your dollar doesn't matter....................................make them matter. A simple conversation will do.

Invisibility is a curse.

And always remember, there are a lot of crazies out there. If we allow ourselves to use our abilities, we all know the difference.

[Edit] And for cryin' out loud, if you feel the need to feast on human flesh...................go jump off a buiding, bridge, etc. or I will shoot you.

This sh*t makes me feel very uncomfortable.

For a detailed report on "bath salts," see MDPV (Methylenedioxypyrovalerone) on Wikipedia. It explains a lot about the odd behavior.

Who needs a detailed report?

If bath salts make you want to eat the face off a person..............leave it alone.

That's what I love about CR4.........................everything is flipping rocket science.

I killed my cat last weekend. She was semi wild. Textbook rabies. It was a nice 11 year run.

Something tells me these humans don't have rabies. Guns and ammo are always a good deterrent.

I'll take my chances with a crazy person with a gun, as opposed to no one has guns but the government. Might just turn out that the government is the crazy person.

I'm more than happy to site examples.

It's important to keep the Constitution relevant.

Here is another just happen the other day here in Baltimore.

http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/05/31/maryland-man-arrested-after-admitting-to-killing-eating-roommate

Maybe it's a legal thing. You kill someone in the heat of an argument. Instead of doing 25 to life you start eating the body. They think your crazy so you do a few years in a mental hospital.

Well yeah, but according to the FDA, human meat is unfit for consumption. It's poison. Only a crazy person would risk their health to consume human.

I think it's about d*mn*d time that mayor Bloomberg put a ban on eating humans!!!!

And if you're going to do it, eat small portions. And for God's sake, don't fry it in transfat or add salt to it!!!!!

Murder and cannibalism is one thing.................if you're not practicing it in a healthy way, it's time for the government to step in.

Don't have to eat much. Just gnaw on the body so it photographs well.

Isn't as unhealthy as our prison system.

Cook it? What and ruin the flavor!

it's in his book about his father. When he was a boy of 8 or 10 years old, he lived in indonesia where dog meat is a protein staple, just as it is in many other asian countries. Obama states in passing that he had eaten dog (as well as monkey, snake and bugs) during those years.

The unhinged among us think that such things are germane to the current political discussion.

I doubt kamarat voted for Obama in '08, I doubt his vote is anything Obama could ever win.

Once upon a time, proudl Americans respected the office of the Presidency, even if they didn't support the man in office.

Barack as a child ate the food put in front of him by his parents. Every good child should eat the food provided by their parent. This food was a common food for the region when the family ate this meal.

What kramarat claimed was an offensive, fabricated lie. This lie revealed a sickness in kramarat's mind. I wish that this sickness affected only him. This sickness reminds me of the madness that created the Hatfield-McCoy feud. As Colin Powell recently stated, adversaries do not have to become enemies. If people with differing political perspectives cannot respect the others perspective, we will be heading for another civil war.

Good point red. I've got an idea for some CR4 fun.

I'll throw up some right wing lies..................and you shoot them down.

Obama criticized Romney for riding his dog on top of his car. Obama ate dog.

Your turn buddy. This will be particularly fun for you, you can also prove that kramarat is sick.

Go

Ok guys, lets all just settle down, and bring it back to the original conversation topic.

Zombie apocalypse? Definitely happening, or most certainly happening?

First, this is an engineering forum not a political forum. From the CR4 FAQ #14:

Please stay on topic. Posts and comments should be of a technical nature and involve some aspect of engineering, science or technology. If you are going to delve into other topical areas (business, entertainment, sports, etc.), please do your best to relate them back to one of the main focal points of this site. Posts focusing on politics or religion will probably be removed. There are plenty of places on the Web to talk politics or religion. CR4 isn't one of them. Likewise, strong political and religious sentiments should be kept out of profiles, signatures and other content.

(Underline highlight selected by me.)

Your snowstorm of political comments has nothing to do with engineering nor the thread topic of "Bath Salts" abuse leading to cannibalism.

Second, all of your political comments here have been Ad Hominen attacks intended to discredit our President for no apparent reason. The Ad Hominen attack is a fallacious argument intended to distract from the topic under discussion by diminishing one presenting an opposing argument to the topic. Our President and his family have not presented anything to the topic of "Bath Salts". This is a distraction of a distraction. The attacks themselves run the gamut of misleading truths, accidental slights (that were already apologized for), to complete lies.

Third, I use to enjoy political debates because I know that my liberal bias blinds me to political complications that a conservative will clearly see. Similarly in these debates I enjoyed seeing a conservative recognizing a blind spot in their point of view. (William F. Buckley's program "Firing Line" was a perfect example of rational debate from both sides.) Instead we now have loud shouting matches where nobody listens. This is precisely the form of pollution I objected to earlier.

Lastly, you've strayed way off of the topic at hand with bringing up a series of political comments that are not appropriate for this forum. Please stop.

I have it on good authority (which means I am making this up) that Bill Clinton did not, in fact, stuff his package into an intern's mouth. What actually happened was that the investigation into his and his wife's shenanigans were getting too close to the truth, so they needed to come up with a diversion to take the attention of the media away from the real dirt. So, the intern loaned Bill her dress so he could "decorate" it. And now we have a sex scandal to take everyone's mind off the real dirt...

Has anyone ever wondered why Lewinsky never sent the dress out to be cleaned???

That makes complete sense. I mean it. Keep me straight. The only thing I have to prove to red, is that I'm not crazy. I'll do whatever I have to, to get the truth out.

At this point, Red is my #1 helper.

I'm a little out of breath. But I hate the right just like you................so lets continue.

John Edwards was having an affair and produced a child while his wife was dying of cancer. He spent millions keeping it secret, but not his own money. He walked today.

Lets go fred. After all, kramarat's crazy.

So, I guess you feel that the CR4 rules on political discussions don't apply to you either.

Please, please, please take your political biases to a political forum where you can form your own storm trooper rallies, debate the virtues and misunderstandings of Karl Marx, discuss Ayn Rand's opinion on the lesbian life style or any other political hot button topic you feel has been neglected. CR4 is not the place for politics.

Sounds like Obama's voice to me. Probably a vast Republican conspiracy.

The same ones that accused Clinton of getting a BJ in the white house.

Damned haters.

At least they couldn't get to John Edwards. He's a good man. A God fearing man. A prison sentence would have deprived all of us of the pure good that he still needs to do. He will help us all.

Thank you God................for setting John Edwards free. He's a kind and decent man.

Re: "Bath Salts" and Cannibalism

06/04/2012 8:23 AM

ok perhaps I was unclear on what I was asking. Im asking what parts of the brain are being affected and in what way. There are a couple of neurological disorders that trigger cannabalistic behavior (usually on the patient himself). I'm wondering if this drug may be used as an analog to study those disorders in (hopefully) a reversible way.

The most informative analysis I have found. I don't think the brain regions have been mapped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cvms8gtdmc
My opinion is that meditation, prayer, yoga etc. are all vastly superior to substance abuse as a way of life. Anyone who abuses drugs had better know what they are taking, and study all the ins and outs and dos and don'ts. Also they must realize that they usually don't know, for sure, what they are actually getting. Marijuana, and even tobacco, or a drink can be adulterated with other substances. Know who had access to the substance.
I have admitted many patients who thought they were smoking marijuana, but had psychotic breaks indicating that it was laced with other substances.

Re: "Bath Salts" and Cannibalism

Methamphetamines kill neurons in the reticular activating system (RAS) which is located in the brain stem. The damage is irreversible. The RAS controls the activity level of the cortex. The cortex (frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes) is the part of the brain that deals with high level functioning like math, planning, memory, language, and conscientiousness. When these RAS cells die the cortex cannot reach the same level of arousal. This is the classic "burnout" seen in meth abusers.

The cortex, in addition to many other things, functions to inhibit the lower structures of the brain. Once the cortex is "shut down" the "reptilian" brain structures are no longer inhibited. These behaviors indicate that the chemical has reduced their level of brain functioning to that of a crocodile who can walk on two legs, so these bath salt may be particularly effective at killing cells in the RAS.

The current UK one is 'Khat'. Why on earth they have not been able to implement legislation I don't know. All that stuff, as a parent, worries the heck out of me.

Don't click on this unless you are in a fun mood, but there is quite a touching advert at the start.

Khat and these "Bath Salts" are very similar chemically and do similar things, so we are really talking about the same class of drugs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticular_activating_systemThe RAS controls attention. It allows us to filter out less important material from the vast amount of information, received by our brain, from all of our senses. It regulates attention. Wikipedia doesn't seem to cover my understanding of it, or your more extensive knowledge.Possibly you could add to this Wikipedia article. Good answer.

I am sure it plays a role. I see a lot of references to a genetic marker related to the RAS.

Nothing that would be useful, other than to researchers.

My children all have A.D.D. - as do I. It is very hard (if not outright impossible) for 'Nons' to understand what life is like for a person who has A.D.D. Having A.D.D. is a little like trying to listen to a radio whose tuner has been disabled. Instead of one station coming through, they *all* do simultaneously. The loudest one wins. It's absolutely exhausting.

The best article I have found on "bath salts" is"http://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2012/06/05/the-straight-dope-on-what-bath-salts-do-to-your-brain-and-why-theyre-dangerous/

My morning paper brought up the question of Zombies and Zombism and a throwback to "The Night of the Living Dead." Since there has been a number of incidents linked to the use of Bath Salts and since it is a rather new phenomenon we probably don't know the long term effects of their use. If it the cause, it will be a lawyer's bonanza suing all the suppliers and sellers for making/creating zombies out of "normal" people.

Sailor #1: Still no sign of land. How long is it?

Sailor #2: That's a rather personal question, sir!

Sailor #1: [low voice] You stupid git. I meant how long has it been in the lifeboat? You've destroyed the atmosphere now.

Sailor #2: I'm sorry.

Sailor #1: Shut up. Start again.

Sailor #1: Still no sign of land. How long is it?

Sailor #2: Thirty-three days, sir.

Sailor #1: Thirty-three days?

Sailor #2: We can't go on much longer. [low voice] I didn't think I destroyed the atmosphere.

Sailor #1: Shut up!

Sailor #2: Well, I don't think I did.

Sailor #1: 'Course you did.

Sailor #2: [aside, to Sailor #3] Did you think I destroyed the atmosphere?

Sailor #3: Yes I think you did.

Sailor #1: Shut up. Shut up!

Sailor #1: Still no sign of land. How long is it?

Sailor #2: Thirty-three days, sir.

Sailor #4: Have we started again? [slap]

Sailor #1: STILL no sign of land. How long is it?

Sailor #2: Thirty-three days, sir.

Sailor #1: Thirty-three days!

Sailor #2: We can't go on much longer, sir. We haven't eaten since the fifth day.

Sailor #3: We're done for, we're done for!

Sailor #1: Shut up, Maudling!

Sailor #2: We've just got to keep hoping. Someone may find us.

Sailor #4: How we feeling, Captain?

Captain: Not too good. I...I feel so weak.

Sailor #2: We can't hold out much longer.

Captain: Listen...chaps...there's still a chance. I'm...done for, I've...got a gammy leg and I'm going fast; I'll never get through. But...some of you might. So...you'd better........ eat me.

Sailor #1: Eat you, sir?

Captain: Yes. Eat me.

Sailor #2: Eeeew! With a gammy leg?

Captain: You needn't eat the leg, Thompson. There's still plenty of good meat. Look at that arm!

Sailor #3: It's not just the leg, sir...

Captain: What do you mean?

Sailor #3: Well, sir...it's just that....

Captain: Why don't you want to eat me?

Sailor #3: I'd rather eat Johnson, sir! [points to Sailor #4]

Sailor #2: So would I, sir.

Captain: I see.

Sailor #4: Well that's settled then...everyone's gonna eat me!

Sailor #1: Uh, well...

Sailor #2: What, sir?

Sailor #1: No, no you go ahead, please, I won't...

Sailor #4: Oh, nonsense, sir, you're starving. Tuck in.

Sailor #1: No, no, it's not that...

Sailor #2: What's the matter with Johnson, sir?

Sailor #1: Well...he's not kosher.

Sailor #3: That depends on how we kill him, sir.

Sailor #1: Yes, that's true. But to be perfectly frank I...I like my meat a little more lean. I'd rather eat Hodges.

Sailor #2: Oh well, all right.

Sailor #3: I still prefer Johnson.

Captain: I wish you'd all stop bickering and eat me.

Sailor #2: Look. I tell you what. Those who want to can eat Johnson. And you, sir, can have my leg. And we make some stock from the Captain, and then we'll have Johnson cold for supper.

Sailor #1: Good thinking, Hodges!

Sailor #4: And we'll finish off with the peaches. [picks up tin of peaches]

Sailor #3: And we can start off with the avocados. [picks up two avocados]

Sailor #1: Waitress! We've decided now! We're going to have leg of Hodges...

Voiceover: Dear Sir, I am glad to hear that your studio audience disapproves of the last skit as strongly as I. As a naval officer I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism! It is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the RAF who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in Aden? Arabs!?

Yours, et cetera,

No regrets guys.

No lies were told, bath salts consumed, nor faces eaten, during the commission of my latest rant.

If it caused just one person to go off and do 15 minutes of research, it will have been worth it. The country you help save, may be your own.

I'll be primarily politicking elsewhere and lurking here as an unregistered user.

Further reading for anyone interested..............it's not for the squeamish, but all thoroughly sourced and documented.

I'm not checking out for good. Right now, my political activism, (and absolute terror of what may lie ahead), will obviously prevent me from making any meaningful contributions to the subject matter on CR4.

Even if I was somehow able to keep my mouth shut during the week, the weekend brewskies will get my fingers flying across the keyboard faster than my brain works.

It's nothing permanent......................just need to be somewhere where I can let the political fires burn. I'll be back.............................Unless anyone would like to contribute to the "Keep kramarat Out" fund. Send all money to Lyn-door industries. They'll hold it for me. Lyn will also post one of those big thermometers, so you guys can chart your progess.

I'm confident that other members will chip in to make this KkO fund a success.

Look forward to keeping in contact with you. Politics is my main interest, for now, also.

Haven't read it, but I wonder if they got the name from Daniel 11 (definitely not for the squeamish, especially when trying to understand what "he shall forecast his devices" and "they shall forecast devices" mean)?

Progress report:

Please stop sending money to the KkO fund. We have reached our goal and have no recourse but to retain all excess funds in escrow.
