Myth #22: The Truth About Chloroform

Ever dreamed of chloroform as a miraculous ticket to dreamland, inspired by its dramatic appearances in countless films? Well, it’s high time to rouse from that slumber! Contrary to the make-believe world of cinema, a mere whiff of chloroform won’t whisk you away into an extended nap in the blink of an eye.

In reality, it takes a good couple of minutes for its effects to kick in, and the resulting stupor is fleeting at best. What’s more, reckless use of chloroform can spell trouble, leading to serious health consequences or even a tragic outcome.
