Worse than Date rape drug‏

Got this in a forwarded email from my cousin



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' (aka "Zombie Powder") 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.
PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE YOU KNOW
*************

Burundanga is a drug made from the plant called either Cacao Sabanero or
Borrachero. It is used to drug unsuspecting tourists in order to rob them.
It acts by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses (the nervous
system - network of specialized tissue that controls actions and reactions
of the body and its adjustment to the environment).
Its symptoms typical of parasympathetic system depression: dilated pupils,
rapid heartbeat, and dry skin, mouth, and respiratory passages. Because it
depresses the central nervous system, it is used as a sedative, any of a
variety of drugs that relieve anxiety.
Be very careful!!

Hmm, I think I need to start growing a garden...WHAT?! Don't give me that look.

This also sounds something like a scam. I've seen other things like this. But who am I to say?

I say that you already have a garden started!! Quick get him!

I know I "haven't" started my own...hey, you like my cologne?
