Nightclub Spiking Incident Leaves Woman in A&E

Libby Woolford, a 19-year-old from Wales, was spiked during a night out at The Banc nightclub in Rhondda Cynon Taf, leaving her 'screaming in pain' and unable to remember much of the night. After asking a friend to watch her drink while she used the restroom—unbeknownst to her, he did not hear her—Libby returned, finished her drink, and quickly fell ill, experiencing severe vomiting, confusion, and difficulty breathing. She later required assistance to get to the hospital, where she awoke in A&E with shaky legs and continued symptoms for days. An at-home drugs test later confirmed she had been spiked. Libby shared her story to raise awareness about drink safety, stressing the importance of covering drinks on nights out. Her ordeal highlights ongoing concerns about drink spiking and the need for vigilance in social settings.
