Baracus had a notourious phobia for flying as to when and how this came about is unclear, with the sistuation made dramatically worse, with the knowledge that Murdock was going to be the pilot. The teams services would often require them to make airborne trips to far-flung destinations, unfortunately for B.A this meant getting onboard one of these beasts, occasionally with a certain reluctance, but would always be K.O'd by a swift knock on the head just in case he decided to renew his army conduct records. The rest of time the team would drug him either by digestion or more commonly an administration of the drug Novocain� (Mexican Slayride Script) by injection which produce almost instant results, knocking him out stone cold.
Novocain is the brand name of the prescription drug Procaine Hydrochloride a synthetic derivative from cocaine created by German chemist Alfred Einhorn. used as an local anesthetic in mostly minor dental surgeries, administered by hypodermic syringe producing quick acting results of numbness to skin and mucous membrane requiring only 3-5 minutes to work.
When used alone, it wears off quickly lasting only 12-15 minutes, but more commonly when mixed with epinephirne, it can last for 30-45 minutes. After the administration of Procaine patients may experience any one of rare but serious side effects:
� an allergic reaction;
� chest pain or slow or irregular heartbeats;
� dizziness or drowsiness;
� anxiety or restlessness;
� nausea or vomiting; or
� trembling, shaking, or seizures.
today Procaine is rarely since more effective hypoallergenic alternatives have been created.
