"As for benzyl penicillin sodium, severe, usually transient reactions with symptoms of severe anxiety and agitation, psychotic reactions, including visual and auditory disturbances, seizures, tachycardia and hypertension, cyanosis, and a sensation of impending death have occasionally been reported with procaine penicillin and may be due to accidental intravascular injection. Procaine has been implicated as a cause of these reactions, especially after injection of high doses. This reaction has been termed non-allergic, pseudoallergic, pseudoanaphylactic, or Hoigneâs syndrome. Procaine penicillin should not be injected intravascularly since ischaemic reactions may occur."
This says to me that if injected into the vasculature, procaine can cause death similar to how Hans died. But I think that SB did the injection right and didn't get it into a vein...
