Since the beginning of July 2012 checkit! tested a number of substances that pose a health risk. A particular warning had to be issued about a tablet sold as ecstasy, which, in addition to MDMA, also contained the particularly harmful substance PMMA contained.

PMMA is converted to PMA in the body and leads to a sharp rise in body temperature and heavy sweating. In higher doses and/or in combination with MDMA, there is a risk of life-threatening poisoning! Symptoms of an overdose may include: the pulse begins to race, breathing becomes faster and heavier at the same time, the eyes move abruptly, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting may occur. If you experience these symptoms, please call the emergency services immediately (144)! We strongly advise against the consumption of these pills! Further information on PMA/PMMA can be found at here.

The unexplored substance 4-Methylamphetamine was again divided into a total of eight speed samples identified. In one case in high doses. Poisoning and unexplained deaths have already occurred in Europe in connection with the consumption of 4-MA. It is therefore difficult to estimate how toxic the substance is and at what dosage it poses a serious health risk.
For this reason, we strongly advise against consumption!

In the following, all samples that have been submitted to the checkit! analysed and classified as high-dose, unexpected or of particular health concern.
