The Weirdest Email I’ve Ever Gotten

I love hearing from fans.  But I love hearing from crazies even more. Why? Makes my job easier. Copy, paste, done.

I got this email the other day. My response is below.

Hi guys

About the snus…

I guess you are making a lot of money from your website
But please let me just inform you about the danger of it and also YOUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Last Saturday night (10 days ago), a friend from Oslo (that is used to snus…) gave me to 1 single “wintergreen” pouch.

As a non-smoker, i did not know it could be dangereous. Afterall everybody does smoke, and my friend was used to snus.. So i thought, this would be fully safe…

You wouldn’t imagine how sick i’ve been since then.
I thought i was going to die.
I had palpitation (tachycardia), high fever, sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, impossible sleep and end up with a very heavy tonsils/nymph nodes infection due to the contact of snus spit.

And doctors generally have no clue about what’s happening (down there in Europe)


Are you aware about this?
Sixty milligrams of nicotine  (the amount in about 30-40 cigarettes), has the potential to kill an adult who is not a smoker Patient experiences prostration, convulsions, bradycardia, arrhythmia & finally coma. Death may occur within 5 minutes to 4 hours .

Maybe you could have some REAL warning about the danger mister “DR.” Snus.

My Response:

Thank you for writing to me. One snus packet cannot kill you. I’m sad that you tried such a strong snus with such a horrible friend for your first time. If you had your first time with me, I would have been much more gentle and given you a snus that you would have really liked.

This asshole friend of yours just wanted you to get sick so he could take care of you. Perhaps Munchhausen by Proxy? Anyway, if I were you, I’d never talk to that dickhead again.

Your nicotine level from one snus is not even close to enough to kill you. Think about coffee or wine. Either one can make people who aren’t used to them sick. The drug in each one, at certain levels that are fairly difficult to reach, can kill you. What you did was tantamount to drinking a Four Loko without ever drinking before. Or a Starbucks four-shot Americano without ever having coffee.

Bad idea.

Kick your friend in the dick for me.

And as a sidenote, I literally make HUNDREDS of dollars a year off this site. Big-money baller, I know. I write about snus because snus is awesome.

Love always,

DrSnus
