BURUNDANGA : Four times more dangerous than date rape drug! (255 hits)
AS OF 10/23/08 AT 4:15PM (EST), I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS DRUG EXISTS AND IS HARMFUL, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED INCIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES PER URBAN LEGENDS WEB SITE. ~ E
I did a search online about this drug and it's pretty serious.
(This incident has been confirmed In Katy, TX ) A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath.
Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her. This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA ' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don’t accept cards at any given time alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.
admit it is scary stuff! It is best to be safe than sorry.

though... I went on line to do a search & I found the following information:
...The story above is a fabrication. Two details betray it as such:
The victim allegedly received a dose of the drug by simply touching a business card. (All sources agree that burundanga must be inhaled or ingested, or the subject must have prolonged topical contact with it, in order for it to have an effect.)
The victim allegedly detected a "strong odor" coming from the drug-laced card. (All sources agree that burundanga is odorless and tasteless.)
Comments: Is there a drug called burundanga used by criminals in South America to incapacitate their victims? Yes.
Do news sources confirm that burundanga has been recently used to commit crimes in the United States? No, there have been no such reports...
