Cases of wild bites are increasing in the South of France. In Hérault, Montpellier and Béziers are particularly affected by this very worrying practice. The scourge of wild bites in night establishments is swelling and is beginning to cause serious concern in festive circles. On Friday April 29, the Montpellier prosecutor confirmed “the first two cases” recorded in bars in the city. Concert and festive evening This Sunday, May 1, six new people have potentially been victims of the same problem. One having been taken care of at the CHU Lapeyronie on Saturday morning after an evening in a night establishment in the city. The five others presented themselves to the emergency room this Sunday following a concert this Saturday evening at the Arena. Filing a complaint, an essential step A phenomenon that worries even the Ministry of the Interior, which tweeted a preventive video to encourage victims to file a complaint. #Vigilance \ud83d\udc89 | In the evening and in festive places, remain vigilant against the risk of wild bites. If you think you are a victim, file a complaint with the police station or the gendarmerie brigade. pic.twitter.com/XDOYMGaNWF— Ministry of the Interior \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa (@Interieur_Gouv) April 28, 2022 Indeed, of these six new cases, none had again lodged a complaint with the national police. However, as we recalled in a previous article, evidence of possible injections of incapacitating or memory-altering products such as GHB or other drugs is particularly complex to determine for investigators who need blood and urine tests, victims precisely not having the memory of what happened to them to testify. They only bear the mark (and even when it remains visible) of a puncture on the skin. Blood tests must be done quickly within 12 hours after the fact to get a possible positive result for certain substances. What victims do not always manage to do on time.
