Answer 10

Don't believe what you see in the movies. It is not that easy to put someone to sleep. It would take a number of minutes and they will fight. You may be the one that goes unconscious. In the movies a little bit on a rag and in three seconds they are out. A person using it would most likely kill the person they were trying to knock out.  I would forget all about it.
