About This Quote

If you wanted to kidnap someone, what would you use? Chloroform is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that has been used for over a century in surgery and anesthetic. It is also an odorless, colorless, tasteless liquid. It can be swallowed or sniffed. It is usually sold in small nozzles, spray cans, or eyedropper bottles.

Chloroform is commonly used in surgery to prevent pain. It is also used in anesthetics, to put people to sleep during surgery or dentistry.
