Mumbai's 'Burundanga' Problem

Burundanga

Currently circulating on Facebook:

At a petrol pump, a man came over and offered his services as a painter to a lady filling petrol in her car and left his visiting card. She said nothing but accepted his card out of sheer kindness and got into the car. The man then got into a car driven by another person.

As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realised that the odour was on her hand; the same hand with which she had received the card from the person at the service station.

With minor alterations, this is the same message that has been circulating for the past four years in the U.S. and Canada. Is burundanga real? Yes, and it has been known to be used to incapacitate victims during the commission of crimes in South America. But elsewhere in the world? In Mumbai, even? Probably not.
