THREE-RIVERS – women-Three-Rivers are convicted of having been drugged without their knowledge and the case of one of these, Marie-Eve Laflamme, raises questions.

Ms. Laflamme has completed his or her evening of 10 February in the hospital, believed to have been drugged without his knowledge during a dinner with friends in a well-known restaurant in Three Rivers.

She was transported to the hospital by ambulance, accompanied by his spouse. However, no blood sample was taken.

According to the professor of chemistry and forensic science from the UQTR, André Lajeunesse, specialized in the detection of the date rape drug by the hair, there was still time to act.

Within two years, the research work of professor Lajeunesse could lead to the detection of not only GHB, but also other drugs of submission, picking up hair. The advantage of this is that traces of the drug remain there much longer, for months.

There is no trace of the date-rape drug in the blood after eight to 10 hours, and in the urine, it fades once you go beyond the cap of 12 to 15 hours.
