Britain’s National Crime Agency said it has identified 232 people in the U.K. who bought products from the websites in the two years until April, 88 of whom had died.
“at this early stage there are no confirmed links between the items purchased from the websites and cause of death in any of these cases.”
I mean, that’s a lot of people to have died by coincidence in under two years!
Is it possible that this was purchased with the intention of using it as a sports supplement, but mistakenly the wrong “nitrate” was purchased? Nitric Oxide is used in sports, sodium nitrite is often used for curing meat!
But then again, if this stuff is being used for suicide, then I’m sure it’s easy to know whether those 88 dead people are linked.
I learned this not too long ago, that too much can legit kill you. I saw a post on that other stupid site about a dude who stopped his girlfriend from doing some tik tok challenge about it.

I mean, the product is being sold as a way to commit suicide, so it’s hardly surprising that many of the people who bought it are now dead.
Wait. What?? That’s wild.

No, it’s not a mistake.

That makes my stomach turn.
I do recall that amazon had a kit on their site using the same chemical specifically targeted to kids …
