Hello and welcome to episode 13 of Looking For A Man In His Thirties: A Criminal Minds Podcast.

In this episode, Emma is debuting two new crafted items - one that might be haunting her, Sara is recounting her clever plot to get her sister buried in the sand on holiday, and someone is poisoning basically the whole town. Side note: Tylenol does NOT cause autism. Correlation does not equal causation. Frankly, it’s weird that a Criminal Minds podcast has to say this, but it’s just as weird that the President and his Health and Human Services Secretary are spreading medical conspiracy theories.

Today, we’re recapping Season 1, Episode 13: Poison, before telling you the STILL UNSOLVED case of Tylenol Murders. Given the content of Criminal Minds, we recommend that this episode is suitable for ages 15+.

What Would Penelope Garcia Do?

Get a carbon monoxide detector. And if it starts to make any funny noises or you smell gas; turn off the boiler, and open all the doors and windows as you leave.

Ring 0800 111 999 if you’re in the UK or 1-800-892-2345 in the US.

Common symptoms of poisoning;

· Nausea or vomiting

· Diarrhoea

· Feeling sleepy

· Blurred vision

· Fever

· Confusion

· Difficulty breathing

· Seizures

· Loss of consciousness

If the patient is responsive, try to get as much information as possible about what they may have ingested if they are aware and relay this information to medical staff.

Do not force them to throw up unless advised by a medical professional or emergency operator. Some poisons can cause more damage on the way up.

UK

Your first port of call in emergent cases if you suspect poisoning and the patient is experiencing these symptoms would be to contact 999 for immediate medical assistance.

In non-urgent cases, or for advice and info on poisons, contact the NHS 111 service. Either by dialling 111 on your phone or visiting the website at 111.nhs.uk.
