Two deaths resulting from apparent parenteral injection of strychnine.
Large amounts of strychnine were found in the bodies of two drug abusers, presumable as a result of injection of "street drugs" adulterated with strychnine. Current therapeutic research with this drug, if widely accepted into medical practice, may lead to its greater availability and hence an increased poisoning incidence potential.
