MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russians visiting a health resort received a rude shock when a nurse used hydrogen peroxide instead of water to give them enemas.
Itar-Tass news agency reported Thursday that 17 tourists in the Caucasus spa town of Yessentuki had to be treated in hospital after the mix-up.
Sources at the sanatorium said the mistake was explained by water and hydrogen peroxide looking the same. Hydrogen peroxide, which can be used to bleach hair, is used as a disinfectant but should not be ingested. (H/T - Yahoo!)
See? This is what happens when you utilize the "dreaded apparatus."
Riddle me this, caped crusader? Why in God's name would one tourist - let alone seventeen of them - request an enema during their vacation? This is exactly why the Iron Curtain crumbled.
