A Maryland mother was arrested Monday after she poisoned her young sons with eye drops, police in Pennsylvania said.

State police in Gettysburg announced they had arrested 23-year-old Samantha Unger, of Thurmont. She allegedly told state police in Gettysburg that she put drops of Visine into water and juice for her 3-year-old and that her 1-year-old became sick by drinking them accidentally.

Unger faces charges of aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children.

A police affidavit says both children became sick this spring, and the older boy required hospitalization. Doctors at Hershey Medical Center suspected poisoning, and tests found the drug in the 3-year-old’s urine.

Visine is one of the ingredients of Russian ultra-nasty synthetic drug “Krokodil,” which is injected. But even so...

I once new a female bartender in Houston that was known to put a drop of Visine in an obnoxious patron's drink. Instant diarrhea.

Visine is that poisonous? You put it in your eyes, it runs down your throat.

Nobody puts Visine in water and juice and leaves them where kids can get them.

In the old cold war days, KGB, MI6 and CIA agents caried Visine with them to lace the drinks of their enemies.

After drinking Visine, GI problems would take them out of action for awhile.

Apparently the movie ‘Wedding Crashers’ popularized this “prank”.
