A Bray man had his bank accounts cleared after being dosed with a drug dubbed the world's scariest.
Known as 'The Devil's Breath', Scopolamine turns people into zombies who'll agree to anything before waking up the next day unable to remember what happened.
David Nelson, 27, has told of his horrific experience in Tenerife after being sprayed in the face with the drug before his attacker took him to an ATM and cleared his bank accounts.

The drug can take hold of people simply by being blown in their face or sniffed.
Rampant in South America, one Colombian man once reportedly woke up in ice-bath with having 'agreed' to give his kidney away while under its grasp.
Many criminals put the substance in a sheet of paper then approach people asking them for help.
When the person opens the sheet they blow the drug into their face before robbing them.

Nelson told The Irish Independent how he was approached by a woman in Playa De Las Americias on March 23 before she tried to seduce him.
He said after pushing her away she "sprayed his face with a substance" that police later told him was Devil's Breath.
He said: "I remember very few things after being sprayed. My phone was taken, gold watch, bracelet, €600 from my wallet and I was then taken to a ATM and the girl proceeded to take what money she could from my Irish and Swiss bank accounts until the cards declined. This drug turns you into a zombie.
"I had never heard of this drug before as I'm sure many others haven't either."
The Department of Foreign Affairs has said its aware of the drug and warns people not to lower their alertness while on holidays.
