A doctor’s guide to killing a man

Now before you label me a psychopath, let me stop you right there. No, I’m not….yet lol.
And also, there is something very misleading about this article:
I’m also not a doctor.
I’m just a dumb ass who read something interesting while preparing for my exams and decided to write an article about it.
So, with the pressing concerns out of the way, now let’s see how to kill a man, shall we?
Carbon monoxide (CO)
It’s a simple gas. One can assume that there is not much going on in CO’s life by the looks of it. I mean, it’s just a lonely carbon atom attached to another lonely oxygen atom, floating around in space…
But, don’t let the looks fool you!
Sure, it might seem like just another gas (that too a boring one!) but this little molecule can easily kill you in a very short amount of time. And I mean SHORT.
See, if you inhale even tiny amounts of Carbon monoxide, it can cause something called: Carbon monoxide poisoning. What happens basically is that, you blood has hemoglobin and it is hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. But this nasty little gas, carbon monoxide, can also stick with hemoglobin just like oxygen. And that also 200 time faster than oxygen!
So, if you inhale CO (even minute amounts), it will stick with hemoglobin leaving less room for it to carry oxygen (because hemoglobin will be like: “Hey man! I am already stuck with CO, so no room for Oxygen sorry!”). And that… is seriously bad news for the body. Because, if you don’t have enough room to carry oxygen, how will all the tissues in the body survive? They need oxygen to live, right?
Yup. And that’s the how people die.
See, if carbon monoxide poisoning is not treated quickly, it can lead to death due to hypoxia (“lack of oxygen”) in the body.
And… that’s where my psychopathic tendencies kick in lol.
What fascinated me the most about CO (apart from its ability to kill people lol) is that: It is colorless, and odorless. And what’s more! The victim doesn’t even realize that he is dying!
See, since it is colorless and odorless the room could be filled with this nasty gas and nobody would notice it! That’s why there so many cases of people dying because they don’t even realize that their room was filled with this deadly gas.
And also, in other types of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the body, there is something called cyanosis, which is just a fancy way to saying “bluish tint in tips of fingers and lips”. That is, if there is lack of oxygen in the blood, the blood becomes blue (cause only oxygenated blood is red in color). And, so doctors can easily diagnose that the person is not getting enough oxygen in his tissues.
But that doesn’t happen in carbon monoxide poisoning! In CO poisoning, the skin stays normal even if there is less oxygen in the body! (The reason being, the CO-hemoglobin complex is also red in color). So, there no way to tell that the person is dying from hypoxia just by looking at them, which makes it even more deadly.
The plan
So, if you really want to kill someone (or say, a whole bunch of people lol), in the most hassle-free manner (cause your comfort matters to me) then let me teach you how:
Find a way to add Carbon Monoxide into air your victim is beathing.
You can do that in many ways (just have to be creative lol).
You can:
- Add CO into their ventilation system if they have an Air conditioner system (typical in large offices).
- Or, simply quietly leak CO into a room where someone usually sleeps (remember, it’s odorless and colorless).
- Or, IDK just figure out a way lol
If you do that, there is a pretty good chance, that the person will die. And even if they didn’t die, chances are you have done some serious permanent damage to their brain or other vital organs. See, when your brain doesn’t get oxygen for too long, it begins to die, which can lead to a whole lot of nasty conditions: including, but not limited to, fully body paralysis, coma, speech impairment, respiratory failure (due to paralysis of lung muscles) and more.
So, you see, my methods are quick, easy and most importantly, EFFECTIVE lol.
Btw, you can literally buy Carbon Monoxide online lol. Go to amazon.com and search for methylene chloride (which is a chemical that spontaneously degrades into CO) used in paint removers. And the crazy part is, literally anyone can buy this online! Anyone!
So… I’m not saying that you should… but if you ever feel like killing someone: now you know how ; )
Thank me later
Cheers!

But seriously, don’t try this lol. This is just something I found amusing XD.
