Krokodil, The Flesh-Eating Street Drug That Rots Skin From Inside-Out, Expands To Illinois

It's called "the most horrible drug in the world" -- and it's come to Illinois.

Dr. Abhin Singala, a specialist at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in the Chicago suburb of Joliet, said he's treating three people who took "krokodil," a cheap heroin knockoff from Russia known to cause such extreme gangrene and abscesses that a user's muscles, tendons and bones can become exposed.

“If you want to kill yourself, this is the way to do it,” Singla said according to the Sun-Times.

Where can I get some? Would love to import a truck load to Salisbury. Would quickly solve the drug overdose problem and lower the population of the detention center. And I'd happily give it out for free.

This drug started in Russia. It is now and starting to be common around. It is 10 times addictive is heroin and 10 times cheaper. Users usually die within one year. go to youtube and type it in there's like a 20 minute video on it watch it. luckily most of the paramedics and the EMT's in this area are familiar with this drug already. along with the Professional Firefighters in Salisbury. some of the things that we do is study what you all think that we don't know nothing or do nothing.

You mean Professional Paramedics and EMT-B ambulance attendants. Oh, and Professional tire jockeys. Only thing the "perfessional farmin" study is depth of cushions on the recliners or count the holes in the ceiling tiles while reclined.

Funny how 2:54 is so familiar with a drug the the DEA has no verified reports of being in the US. Sounds like they were just looking for gross stuff on youtube because they can't access porn on city computer.

I heard they had it in Arizona a couple of days ago and then in Illinois I think a day or so later. It shouldn't take too long to get here. In the news report in Illinois there were three young women, 18-24, who were in the hospital and one knew what she was taking when she took it and the other two had no idea that it was this new Krokodil.
