Colt Lucas Cunningham, who runs a rockhound group on Vancouver Island looking for minerals, crystals and gemstones, hosted an event Sunday at the park around 11 a.m. for kids to search for Easter eggs with some of them. precious rocks hidden inside. But it was not just what was found. Cunningham said a pair of women found two eggs full of corn kernels and pills inside, while another found a bad note inside one of the eggs. “So that was really shocking, especially if it was accessible by a three-year-old or someone around that age,” he said. Although the pill has not been tested, its IDs – APO over 50 – indicate that it is a dose of 50 milligrams of de-prednisone, a cortisone-based drug commonly used to treat non-inflammatory inflammation or arthritis. for taken by children. “Horrible,” Cunningham said. “I have three siblings and I work with children all the time, to think that one of them could have been hurt.” He said that as soon as the eggs were discovered, he called the RCMP which searched the area but could not find anything else. The RCMP confirmed to CHEK News that police officers attended and saw only one of the eggs found by attendees and could not verify what substance the pill contained. Cunningham said he was glad the children did not find or swallow the pill, but wanted anyone who was planning an Easter egg hunt to take precautions. “There is still someone running around and thinks he got a kick out of it,” he said.
