A black American lady decided to lace her food with laxatives in a rather unconventional approach to solving a workplace dilemma and to identify which of her colleagues had been stealing her lunch. The incident, which took place on September 17th, 2024, was shared widely on social media and has sparked a mix of reactions.
The lady, frustrated by the repeated theft of her food from the office fridge, devised a plan to catch the culprit. She explained that after noticing her food was frequently missing, she asked her colleagues if they knew anything about it, but all denied involvement. Determined to uncover the truth, she laced her food with laxatives and monitored who would make frequent trips to the bathroom.
Her strategy proved effective as one colleague was identified after making several urgent visits to the restroom. This revelation was captured in a video shared on Instagram, where the lady recounted her experience. The post received mixed feedback, with some commending her ingenuity while others criticized her for not addressing the issue through proper channels like human resources.
Laxatives, commonly used to treat constipation by softening stools or stimulating bowel movements, do not prevent the body from digesting food. They primarily act on the large intestine, where most calories and fats have already been absorbed, leaving mainly water and minerals to be expelled.
However, the overuse of laxatives can lead to severe health issues, including damage to the nerves, muscles, and tissues of the intestines and bowel. Symptoms of laxative overdose include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance, which are more common in children than adults.
The ethical and legal implications of such actions were also highlighted. Some commenters pointed out that knowingly causing harm to another person, even in retaliation, could have serious consequences, including potential charges of poisoning or assault.
