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?

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

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.

you need quite lot of benadryl to cause deleriant reaction.

You can get a magazine extension for a Benelli M4 that will increase capacity from 5 to 7 (plus one in the chamber.)

That looks like a cool zombie-defense weapon and a terrible actual weapon for self-defense or war.

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Ya. It's a range toy. Not all cars have to be useful on the track either.
