Let's get it straight, you don't want anything to do Spanish Fly, it is extracted from Blister Beatles, bad news. If they walk on your skin they leave a blister track.

Poisoning from "Spanish fly" (cantharidin).

Abstract

Cantharidin, known popularly as Spanish fly, has been used for millennia as a sexual stimulant. The chemical is derived from blister beetles and is notable for its vesicant properties. While most commonly available preparations of Spanish fly contain cantharidin in negligible amounts, if at all, the chemical is available illicitly in concentrations capable of causing severe toxicity. Symptoms of cantharidin poisoning include burning of the mouth, dysphagia, nausea, hematemesis, gross hematuria, and dysuria. Mucosal erosion and hemorrhage is seen in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Renal dysfunction is common and related to acute tubular necrosis and glomerular destruction. Priapism, seizures, and cardiac abnormalities are less commonly seen. We report four cases of cantharidin poisoning presenting to our emergency department with complaints of dysuria and dark urine. Three patients had abdominal pain, one had flank pain, and the one woman had vaginal bleeding. Three had hematuria and two had occult rectal bleeding. Low-grade disseminated intravascular coagulation, not previously associated with cantharidin poisoning, was noted in two patients. Management of cantharidin poisoning is supportive. Given the widespread availability of Spanish fly, its reputation as an aphrodisiac, and the fact that ingestion is frequently unwitting, cantharidin poisoning may be a more common cause of morbidity than is generally recognized. Cantharidin poisoning should be suspected in any patient presenting with unexplained hematuria or with GI hemorrhage associated with diffuse injury of the upper GI tract.

Yeah..that's something you'd wanna take, or as in the case of Bill Cosby, re: this pole, give before sex....

My favorite teacher ever in high school was tried and convicted and now is a "sexual offender" because of a relationship with a student. I am never surprised anymore of this type of behavior and I will not take the "poll" as I too believe, even the most trusted and respected people sooner or later succumb to stupid choices when they're in positions where power and true choice get blurry.

'spanish fly' is a chemical substance that when given to unsuspecting females allows total access without consent, so if you think he is guilty you could always select that answer.

I always heard that Spanish Fly was a myth, simply generic for all or any of the date rape form of aids....But if anybody would know, you would..

and my 'pole' may or may not be slanted, but that is none of your business. unless you slip me some spanish fly and make your business.

..No thanks there little fella, that almost sounds too much like an invite...

PS: your pole is too slanted in favor of his innocence, therefore any valid opinion vote is null and void.

I too am saddened by the recent outflow of over 30 different accusations..they all can't be lying...

Time for him to disappear and leave the spotlight forever..let those who remember him as the ideal human being, hold on to what they thought was once a good person.

I think it's sad, he was the proverbial father figure of American culture. Then again, I also think we place too much importance on celebrities. The real people we should look up to should come from our families and communities, not Hollywood.

The black community needs a win.

i, for one, believe a man is innocent until proven guilty. but if bill cosby invites me up to his room for a drink, there is no way in hell i am going.

what do you think about all these accusations of sexual assualt levied against "america's dad" bill cosby? several things about the media treatment of it seem rather interesting:

he has not specifically denied any allegations despite numerous media interviews.
he touts the 'strength of womanhood and mothers'.
his wife stands beside him silent.
he asks the black media to treat him fairly.
where there is smoke there is fire.
there have been no legitamate children of mr. cosby's confirmed.
