Arizona Krokodil Drug Users Suffer Flesh-Eating Side-Effect

A deadly drug which rots the flesh of users has hit the streets of Arizona.
Krokodil — which kills most addicts within a year of their first hit — is a poisonous cocktail of codeine, gasoline, paint thinner, hydrochloric acid, iodine and red phosphorous.
The injected narcotic — which originated in Russia and is dubbed “the drug that eats junkies” — is three times cheaper to produce than heroin.
Victims suffer from gangrenous sores that open all the way to the bone.
Terrifyingly, two reports of people using the drug in Arizona were reported this week — sparking fears an epidemic could be about to engulf the state.
They arrived in emergency rooms with their flesh hanging off their body, reports Fox 5.
“We’ve had two cases this past week that have occurred in Arizona,” Dr. Frank LoVecchio, co-medical director at Banner’s Poison Control Center, told KLTV.
“As far as I know, these are the first cases in the United States that are reported. So we’re extremely frightened,” he added.
“We’re afraid there are going to be more and more cases,” he ended.
The use of Krokodil, which has the medical name of desomorphine, spread across Russia “like a plague” since 2002 and there are now 3 million users, a Time magazine investigation reported in 2011.
