This military grade silicone, that the women obtained, contained additives like olive oil and cobra venom. Due to the unsanitary nature of this substance, when used the injection site would develop ‘silicone rot’ - a strain of gangrene. Later on, the liquid silicone would break apart in the woman’s body, forming lumps within the breast.
