Spiking - the Reality Behind the Big Letters

Concerning the suspicion of stings in festive places, following a press release of the Canton of Vaud and all the services concerned on the subject, the emergency services of the canton have received some people, some of whom presented lesions compatible with stings (visible traces). People generally described aspecific symptoms (malaise, heat, fatigue, dizziness, etc.) or no associated symptoms. Some feared they had been intoxicated by a GHB injection. These situations may have raised concerns. For the ten or so cases reported in the last three months, it should be noted that the toxicological analyses carried out have not, to date, revealed any trace of a particular substance injected.
This does not mean that these stings do not exist, but that it is necessary to study the possibilities of prevention. Are we powerless against this problem? Or can the clubs do something to prevent any suspicion or evidence?
