Media depictions of chloroform are almost entirely fictional. In reality, chloroform is difficult to administer, takes several minutes of continuous inhalation to induce unconsciousness, and has a very narrow margin of safety [3]. It is potentially lethal, often causing cardiac arrest or severe respiratory depression. By portraying it as a quick, harmless way to "tease" a sister or brother, media creators spread dangerous misinformation that could lead to fatal real-world consequences if imitated. Conclusion
