Krokodil, already a popular drug in Russia, has finally made its way to the United States. The Banner Poison Control Center in Arizona has reported two cases of the flesh-rotting drug’s use, believed to be the first in the US.

The drug is a mixture of codeine and hydrocarbons like gasoline, paint thinner, or oil that is injected directly into veins. It’s named krokodil because once injected, it rots your skin from the inside out, causing an alligator skin-like appearance. It’s really, really gross. You probably want to avoid the YouTube videos.

Dr. Frank LoVecchio, the co-medical director at Banner's Poison Control Center, said, “we're extremely frightened." He elaborates on the flesh-eating drugs that often sell for ten to 20 times less than the cost of heroin:

"They cause damage to the blood vessels damage to the tissue and there are horrific pictures from Russia that show skin literally falling off the bone."

He also believes the two cases in Arizona are related, but wouldn’t say more except to add, "Where there is smoke there is fire, and we're afraid there are going to be more and more cases."

The first time I heard of this from Russia, I thought it was pretty extreme, even for Russia.

It's beyond me why anyone would mess with a drug like that.

Vice went to Russia to shoot this a few years back. Scary shit.

God Damn. Theres a lot of bad shit in that.

Who is the maniac that invented this? It seems unreal.

Something isn't making sense here. The drug, when used in a "normal" way, causes your flesh to rot off? And people still use it?

It's not if you don't use it 'correctly' or mix it correctly or something like that? Just the normal side effect is your skin falls off? Seems like users might seek out something a little less horrible.

Addiction + desperation + apathy.

Google "Krokodil Tears".

I read in the other thread that the users don't last long. The images of users look so bad it's almost hard to believe they're real.

People are dumb.

Yeah. Says if you shoot it 1 time you'll die within 2 years.

I guess I finally have my scientific proof for a zombie apocalypse.

If people are THAT stupid and weak and junkies and want to shoot this shit and die, let them.

We need more strong and smart people in this country, not a bunch of weak and sick wussies that is lowering the collective IQ and success in this country.
