Students identified as being involved with the party will have a conduct hearing that could result in an intensive education course, referral to counselors or suspension, it said. The school was planning to hold information sessions Saturday and Sunday at residence halls, the statement said. Fogarty wanted her sensor to be not only economically accessible but also easy to use. Other drink-spiking detection tests developed for drugs like the sedatives gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and Rohypnol (few existing tests, if any, detect DPH) often use a lateral-flow test technique, an approach that is common in Covid-19 self-testing. However, these can come with complicated directions, and the movement of liquid and mixing of test agents can be easy to accidentally disturb. They might not remember anything, or might even blame themselves.” How do you know if it’s happened to you?

Fogarty was one of 40 finalistsin the 2023 Regeneron Science Talent Search,the country’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors.It was so discouraging,” she says. “Unfortunately, a lot of young women and young people in general aren’t guaranteed this degree of safety that should be a basic right.”

Rohypnol(also known as roofies, forget-me-pill, and R-2) is a type of prescription pill known as a benzodiazepine—it’s chemically similar to drugs such as Valium or Xanax, but unlike these drugs, it is not approved for medical use in this country. With women being the primary victims of drink spiking, it should not be their responsibility to guard their drinks and go to extreme lengths to identify a poisoned drink. Recreational drugs like Ecstasy, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Ketamine and other ‘party-drugs’ are sometimes used to spike alcoholic drinks. Mixing alcohol and stimulants can be very dangerous and can cause serious problems, ranging from nausea to heart failure. There can be so much victim blaming and second-guessing,” Bajurny says. “Especially if they had been drinking or using other drugs at the time.” Since these crimes often happen amongst university students, she believes education is important. New students should be alerted to the reality of drink spiking, so they know what to look out for. It also needs to be instilled into students that drink spiking is a crime, and that it is never acceptable to abuse someone's trust or harm them in such a way.

Should you wish to be tested after a suspected spiking incident, outside of the window of detection for urine and blood analysis, it is possible to have a hair strand test. We recommend waiting a few weeks after the suspected incident date to allow the hair to grow sufficiently.
