Forget the deadly drug Stilnox or ‘mchele’ that Nairobi prostitutes use to drug men in night clubs before robbing them, there is a new more lethal kid on the block. Unlike mchele, which just knocks you unconscious, this new addition turns you into a complete zombie.

Scopolamine is a potent drug that not only saps free will, it also kills and is now considered one of the most dangerous chemicals in the world. Nicknamed ‘Devil’s Breath’ the chemical is derived from a particular tree common to South America.
