A woman has reported that she believes she was involuntarily given a drug at a fraternity party on Halloween night, according to an AU Alert sent via email on Tuesday.
The report stated she consumed one beer at the party and woke up with limited memory of the night. She said she was "dizzy and disoriented" for the remainder of the next day.
For those who suspect they might have been drugged:
- Immediately get medical attention. Some date rape drugs can only be detected in urine from 3–12 hours after they are consumed.
- Call 911 or have a trusted friend take you to the East Alabama Medical Center emergency room. During daytime hours, you can go to the Auburn University Medical Clinic.
- Do not urinate before going to the hospital or medical clinic if at all possible. If you cannot wait, collect your urine in a clean container, and bring it with you for testing.
- Report the incident to police at 911 or 334-501-3100.
