Horrific Images Of Drug- Users Eaten Alive By Flesh-Eating Illness Caused By Homemade Heroin Substitute

For all the guys that do drugs, 'ndi

anurutu -ihe', be thou warned. You

never know what's in the mixture you

are taking.

The first cases of a terrifying new drug

called 'Krokodil' that eats flesh from the

inside out, is flammable and leaves

addicts with reptilian-like skin have

been reported this week in Arizona -

and the state fears the beginning of an

epidemic.

DailyMail reports popular in Russia,

Krokodil is homemade, is three-times

cheaper than heroin and is created by

mixing codeine with gasoline or oil,

filtering it and then injecting the rancid

concoction into the users's body.

Continual use of Krokodil causes blood

vessels to burst, leaving skin green and

scaly among addicts eventually causing

gangrene and their flesh to begin to rot.

Two addicts had arrived in hospital

emergency rooms in America with their

flesh hanging off their body, exposing

bone or with skin resembling that of a

crocodile.

Doctors say they are the first reported

cases in the United States and they are

extremely frightened.

In Russia, Krokodil usage is spreading

like a virus among young people and

according to a Time magazine

investigation, even those who manage

to quit their addiction come away

disfigured for life.

Some users in Russia develop brain

damage and speech impediments in

addition to the horrific scars.
