According to the good drugs guide, the fatality rate in the US from taking Ecstasy is 1 in 1,000,000. Yet, according to Livescience, the odds of dying in a dog attack in the US are 1-in-147,717, making ecstacy 15% as deadly as dogs.

The Good drugs guide goes on....

Quote:
Between 1988 and 1997 some 50-100 UK deaths have been connected to Ecstasy use. The current rate is 7 deaths per million users per year. More people die fishing or eating peanuts.

The US figures are much lower, only one death per million users, largely due to the enduring preference for warehouse or outdoor parties rather than hot packed-out nightclubs. There is also less of a booze culture amongst American kids. Most E-related deaths are related to alcohol-consumption and over-heating.

Sounds like a good episode of 'peepshow.'
