OK, so this hasn't crossed over to the actual US version of Aqua Dotz yet, but they have been recalled in Australia because it contains small beads that are filled with a glue the body metabolizes into GHB. blink.gif

Never heard of GHB or Aquadotz. Guess I'm a little out of it!

Notice how those say AquaDotZ...not AquadotS. I'm curious to know if they were manufactured differently under the Aquadotz name, versus the Aquadots name.

If you click on the link it does bring you to the Aqua Dots product listing. I still wouldn't trust it.

Jeanne, GHB is a narcotic that can be used as a date rape drug. Big on the rave scene.

Here is the blurb from Wikipedia
QUOTE
In a medical setting, GHB is used as a general anesthetic, to treat conditions such as insomnia, clinical depression, narcolepsy, and alcoholism, and to improve athletic performance. It is also used illegally under the street names Juice, Liquid Ecstasy or simply G, either as an intoxicant, or as a date rape drug. GHB is naturally produced in the human body's cells and is structurally related to the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate. As a drug it is used most commonly in the form of a salt. [3] GHB is also produced as a result of fermentation and so is found in small quantities in some beers and wines.

YIKES! I agree, I wouldn't trust it even if it is sold under another name.
