Fun fact, Benadryl is actually a fairly powerful local anesthetic. You can pack it into a wound before applying sutures and it is almost as effective as lidocaine. So basically, shooting someone with a benadryl load is probably a bit counterproductive and might just make angry zombies.

Careful with this info. Diphenhydramine can cause nerve damage if at too high a concentration: 5 parts whatever to 1 part Benadryl is the typical dilution for local anesthetics.
You say Benadryl, but do you mean one part diphenhydramine, or one part of the crushed tablets at presumed to concentration?
The actual chemical. As for adding crushed Benadryl tablets I have zero clue about the concentration and the potential of that to cause damage to the nerves. I was just urging caution.
This sounds like over-simplified information that is totally going to get someone in the ER.
I feel like if you're in a situation where you need to know how to improvise an anaesthetic for sutures, you probably should be in the ER anyway, but can't get to one.
Nah. Hold my beer.
Even though it makes no sense, all I could figure out for this was that they were hiding something valuable in a container of benedryl so burglars wouldn't find it, instead of hiding it in a box of rock salt or a box of nails.
It's a shotgun shell. People sometimes load them up with rock salt and nails for home defense, even though bird and buckshot will do the trick.
This person loaded the shell up with benadryl, which will cause hallucinations when taken in higher quantities.
I abused it a few times as a teenager, and it was really shitty every time. Someone told me that you can see the air by abusing Welbutrin as well, so naturally I tried that too. You can absolutely see the air, but it also makes you feel like you have a brain tumor.
Benadryl Buck Shot is a fucking great band name.
Track list on their debut album:
- Straight into my veins
- My-stamine
- Bodies (Let the bodies hit the floor, cover)
- Yeah?! What are you gonna do about it?
- Papercut enema
Papercut enema is so fucking horrible. I genuinely regret reading that. My ass puckered so hard I could hear it snap shut
That is a shotgun shell loaded with allergy medicine. In the US many people reload their own shotgun shells. If you put rock salt instead of lead shot it is less-than-lethal...sorta. Some put in weirder stuff like nails, etc. Americans are funny like that.
This you?
There's multiple youtube channels that are devoted entirely to loading shotguns with weird shit.
And I get innovation is fun and all but I've shot a lot of shotguns, and it almost doesn't matter what you put in it, it will leave a similar sized hole in whatever you shoot it at.
Break into my home, you're gonna be crammed full of whatever I think is funny.
🤣 you shoulda seen the look on his face when I blasted gummy bears into his ballsack after he broke into my house.
aka, "gunny bears"
The Taofledermaus channel on YouTube is a lovesong to that tenet for over 10 years.
Thank you for explaining this. As a non-USian I had no idea what was going on.
what do I need to know to understand this?
I think you need to be American. It is funny how the Americans are busy explaining the drug to you, but failing to understand that it is the underlying premise that most non-Americans won't get.
Yeah I didn't get that that was a shotgun shell I thought it was a film canister.
Also every antihistamine I've ever seen has been a tiny little round thing, those are huge

Benadryl is a brand name of diphenhydramine, an antihistamine with a powerful side effect of drowsiness. Benadryl is labeled as an allergy relief medication but the same drug is sold under other brands such as Sominex as a sleep aid. Effects of overdosing on diphenhydramine include seizures, extreme drowsiness, excessive sleepiness, delirium, and hallucinations.

The translucent object packed with several of the pills is a shotgun shell. The text refers to the practice of reloading shotgun shells with other objects in an attempt to alter their lethality and/or pain potential. A shell loaded with rock salt for example, salt is much lighter than lead so it should have less stopping/penetrating power, but any wounds caused are automatically salted.
The salt load has an added benefit of temporarily incorporeating ethereal beings.
Does this count as chemical warfare?
Not "chemical warfare," but maybe in the same genre of "chemical fuck you" as mace/pepper spray.
IIRC those are chemical warfare. They're use is not regulated on civilians, but they're banned for use in war.
I wouldn’t be using brand-name Benadryl for that unless it was expired. This clearly calls for the Kirkland Select store brand from Costco!
Dollar tree diphenhydramine buckshot. Instead of the hat man, you meet the coat hanger dwarf.
Only the best for guests!
Oh, it's a shell casing
"Say hello to my little friend!" I scream as I introduce the intruders to the hat man.
