- Clubs in Stuttgart replaced firework bottle effects with LED sticks due to fire risks, but KO-drugs pose a less visible threat.
- A security chief tested KO-drug detection wristbands that only changed color when exposed to nearly pure substances, not diluted drinks.
- KO-drugs act quickly and sedate victims, often causing unconsciousness and requiring immediate emergency response.
- Experts advise vigilance with drinks and rejecting unknown offers, as rapid test devices do not reliably prevent KO-drug incidents.
