Devil's Breath is not Burundanga, here is the difference.

 Here is some information from my book "Breathing Evil" 

Burundanga is the second most dangerous drug in the world, right behind Devil's Breath, because of its powerful ability to make a person "appear" dead to even the most seasoned, experienced doctor.

"Burundanga" is not Devil's Breath, despite a lot of the misleading information you may read online.  

Burundanga paralyzes the body completely, slowing down metabolism to the point where breathing, heartbeat, and brain activity become imperceptible. The powerful and deadly poison in Burundanga is called TTX (Tetrodotoxin), which is different from Devil's Breath in that it is a blackish substance instead of the usual white powder form of Devil's Breath. 

Burundanga is most commonly used by a Haitian Bockor to make a victim appear dead for the ultimate purpose of gaining a slave who are often referred to as "zombies".  

According to literature, zombies are the living dead. In general, these are innocent victims who are raised from their graves in a comatose state by an evil  Bokor and forced into slavery, and is usually an act of revenge on the victim and his family.   

I go into great detail in my book  Agent of Fear regarding Burundanga.

Devil's Breath on the other hand contains specific chemicals (scopolamine and atropine) that cause a person to experience a prolonged state of being in between sleep and being awake (NREM),  suffer memory loss and eventually become highly open to suggestion and compliant unless their mind has been completely stripped.  

To be clear, Burundanga contains a puffer fish toxin (TTX) that causes the body and its organs to become paralyzed to mimic death, and the victim will be pronounced dead and buried after being poisoned with it.

Furthermore, it was determined and recorded in 1982, after three independent investigations in four distinct Haitian villages, that the components of Burundanga did contain various poisons (in my book "Breathing Evil"). However, the ingredients that go into making Devil's Breath weren't among them. 

Three days after being poisoned with Burundanga, a victim is taken from the grave by the Bokor, is beaten by the Bokor crew while still dealing with the aftereffects of Burundanga and is traumatized by the circumstances. After that, he is bound and carried to a cross for baptism, where he is given a new zombie name and is then forced to ingest small doses of Devils Breath daily to make and keep him compliant and used as a slave. He lives the rest of his life in this manner, or until the person who poisoned them (the Bokor) releases him or the Bokor dies. 

Now, the next time you read an article that states "Burundanga" also known as "Devil's Breath" and the information contained within it, cannot be trusted.
