Let's prevent drink spiking together

SpikeStixx by CounterSpike is your ultimate safeguard against drink spiking, empowering you to socialise with No Fear and complete confidence.

At CounterSpike, we're all about drink spiking prevention. We exist to create one place where education, data, product and technology are able to help reduce the likelihood of being spiked. The starting point was to originate a product that reliably tests against the top 8 most common spiking drugs.

We work with an award-winning lab (The King’s Award for Enterprise In Innovation 2023), who specialise in providing quality rapid diagnostic solutions globally. With our lab partner, we are continually innovating CounterSpike, adding efficacy against new drugs as appropriate.

We are passionate about our PET pillars: Prevention, Education and Training and work alongside charities, educational establishments and authorities to run educational and training programmes. Our vision is to minimise the impact of drink spiking worldwide.

What people are saying

Peace of mind

My daughter has just started University. I know she’s going to have a great time and will do a lot of socialising. I’ve packed her off with some SpikeStixx as I worry that spiking is becoming a bigger issue. These give me a little peace of mind.

Julie - September 2024

Feel Safer

I go clubbing a lot. I’ve seen a lot more spiking in recent years. I try to be vigilant but having some SpikeStixx on a night out makes me feel a little safer.

George - September 2024

Quite cool

I took these to my freshers’ week. I really think the pack is quite cool. I didn’t get spiked. I’m not taking any chances.

Mimi - October 2024

This made an impact

The CounterSpike education programme is really powerful. As a teacher I struggle to land important messages with my students. This made an impact.

Amara - October 2024

Sip safer in my bar

I run a bar. I’ve just signed up to the CounterSpike training programme. I want my customers to feel that they can sip safer in my bar.
