I would be surprised if that data existed. How could that be measured?
- defrost 2y agoMainly indirect measures; reports at womens centres for example- not all spiking events are reported by any means .. but a rise in reports likely follows a rise in spiking (or the effectiveness of a recent campaign to report such things). Consistent sampling of the dregs tray at various bars would be an indicator, as would sewerage sampling (as used to track other drug use). Conceivably spiking rates might also be reflected in certain types of bathroom grafitti or social media posts.
- mmooss 2y agoI would expect that nobody has that data, not that the reporter omitted it.
