Zombiepowder

There is Voodoo sorcery in Africa. The religion has a original formality. They punish wrongdoer with "Zombiepowder". Voodoo was brought to haiti in the early 16 century, so their formality had taken place and some people regained in the past.

According to my memory, when a man broke their rules, he would be made to take "Zombiepowder" and killed once and buried in their formality. And after hours, he was dug up and was to be a slave.

I heard that a professor was interested in its powder and studied about ingredients in it. The powder contains two main poisons.
First one is Tetrodotoxin which can be find in blowfish organs. This poison prevent motor nerves from working normally.If he took the drag, his body would be just stiffened.
Another one is stramonium. The plant is the member of eggplant. Ths poison acts on a brain directly and take the self away from the taker.

To sum up, a zombiepowder taker just cannot move the body but the brain. They want him to be a slave, so they bury him and show his family that he has been dead. This is the way they deal with wrongdoer.

I got this information from a TV program namd "Tokumei research "200X" twelve years ago. I have a recollection about it that I did not think that I want to be brought back to life.
