S.C. nurse who fatally poisoned husband with eye drops: "I just wanted him to suffer"

Lana Clayton says she didn't mean to kill her millionaire husband when she poured a lethal dose of an over-the-counter eye medication into his drinking water.

www.cbsnews.com

TLDR: A woman confesses to murdering her husband by emptying an entire bottle of Visine into his water. The key ingredient leading to his death was tetrahydrozoline. It causes respiratory distress, diarrhea, and vomiting. Her husband was a very heavy-set man and he died from respiratory distress. Also to note, he was under other medications at the time and had an undisclosed illness, so that the tetrahydrozoline could of reacted with other substances. There's been other poisonings using Visine, could be a little as a few drops over a length of time to emptying many bottles of Visine into a drink.

Something to think about...

It's certainly something to think about!

Red-Eye Drops: Poisonous to Drink, Safe If Used Correctly

While eye drops are suspected as the poisoning agent in a South Carolina death, experts say the chemical used to get the red out of your eyes is safe when used correctly.

www.aao.org

Intentionally or accidentally drinking eye drops can lead to toxic blood levels. When used in the eyes as directed to reduce redness, these types of eye drops are not absorbed systemically in amounts that lead to toxicity.

When consumed orally, tetrahydrozoline passes quickly through the gastrointestinal tract, rapidly reaching the blood and the central nervous system.

Symptoms of an overdose of tetrahydrozoline include drowsiness, slow breathing or absence of breathing, slow heartbeat, hypothermia and possibly even coma.

Looks like heart issues and tremors if you survive after 24hrs since poisoning. Good recovery if found before 24 hours.

Pour the whole thing in one go.

Soy sauce apparently has some CTB effects. Drinking the whole thing. High sodium levels. Everything is salt related to CTB

Can you just pound soy sauce than to ctb?

Do some Google search. Not the best option out there but do some researching.

I've considered this. I bought two bottles of eye drops when I bought my SN and my scale. It seems like it can take a long time and be pretty agonizing. It's there as a backup, and I guess for a little peace of mind that I have an eject button if I really need it. But it is not my first choice. The idea of a relatively flavorless liquid appeals to me but I can't do that for days on end.
