"A 33-year-old Pennsylvania woman could spend the rest of her life in prison after admitting to police that she repeatedly poisoned her boyfriend with Visine eye drops for more than three years in a bid for his attention.

Vickie Jo Mills of Ayr Township, Pa., was arrested Thursday and charged with 10 counts of aggravated assault, 10 counts of simple assault and 10 counts of reckless endangerment after she told authorities she slipped Visine eye drops into the drinking water of her boyfriend, 45-year-old Thurman Edgar Nesbitt III.

Mills, who has a child with Nesbitt, told Pennsylvania State Police she put Visine drops, medicinally used to "get the red out" of eyes, into his drinking water 10 to 12 times since June 2009.

Nesbitt had been sick for years with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and blood pressure and breathing problems, according to police. His doctor, Dr. Harry Johnston, alerted authorities in after detecting traces of tetrahydrozoline, a chemical found in eye drops, in Nesbitt's blood tests.

A follow up test at the police station showed Nesbitt had 49 nanograms per milliliter of tetrahydrozoline in his system, categorized by medical experts as "an extremely high level, according to the Record Herald newspaper.

Mills, according to an affidavit, "never meant to kill him [Nesbitt], only wanted him to pay more attention to her."


Well, that's a pretty extreme action to take to grab your boyfriend's attention. It kind of makes me paranoid about potentially being poisoned in the future...

...whatever happened to just getting his attention with sex?

Sex can't get rid of pinkeye.

A good reason to never get a girlfriend.

I had no idea people could die from ingesting eyedrops.

Something new is learned every day.

ehh, Sex or Pinkeye, hmmm sex. I'm prepared to live with that decision.

... How was poisoning him without his knowledge going to get him to pay her more attention..."

So that he will get used to her and come to depend on her since he's incapable of taking care of himself.

What an evil bitch.

Exactly.

If someone is incapacitated, crippled, or helpless, they'll have to rely and depend upon someone else to care for them. That's dedicated, vulnerable full attention right there.

Also, people who obsessively feel their lovers aren't giving them enough attention tend to also be extremely jealous and suspicious types. If this woman made sure that this guy would never have the health to pursue another woman ever again, she'd "win."

She should have just communicated with him. She needs to take some communication and critical thinking classes.
"If I poison his water for an extended period of time, will a doctor find out?" <-- This.
"If I talk to my husband about our problems, would he listen?" <-- Also this. Communication is a two way street and it makes me sad seeing stories like this when talking it out could have solved the issue.

And for real... Put her to bed once and a while and she'll be right as rain.

damn I wonder if he saw the situation clearly ...

Who wants to watch a moooooovieeee????

Holy crap i feel bad for her boyfriend

XD this makes me laugh of how women go crazy for love or her guy's attention and they'll do anything XD

10 - 12 drops of eye drops over the course of 3 years would cause symptoms like that? I didn't think they were that bad if you used them on your eyes of all things.
