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.
