The locals in a tiny Irish village have claimed that the fumes from a nearby Viagra-producing factory are giving the men in town something a little extra in the trouser department.
Pharmaceutical company Pfizer have been producing the erectile dysfunction drug in the village of Ringaskiddy in Co Cork for the last twenty years.
The locals say the “love fumes” from the plant have been effecting the local men, and even their pets.
Nurse Fiona Toomey recently returned to Ringaskiddy after working for five years in America. She said that she could immediately tell that something was going on. She said that the local dogs “walk around in a state of sexual excitement”.
She added: “I think that Viagra must have got into the water supply. I’m convinced that’s what happened at the very beginning before they were so closely regulated.”
Pfizer dismissed the theory as nothing more than an “amusing myth”. They stated: “Our manufacturing processes have always been highly sophisticated as well as highly regulated.”
However, the locals are convinced something is different about the men in Ringaskiddy. Sadie O’Grady said: “I’m a flirtatious woman, a lot of us are. You just have to have a spark, that’s all. There’s a lovely man waiting down the road for me.”
She added that there is just “something in the air” and described the fumes as a “blessing for men who suffer in that department”.
Mrs O’Grady’s daughter Debbie, who works as a barmaid in the local pub confirmed: “One whiff and you’re stiff. We’ve been getting the love fumes for years now for free.”
