My article is about how the new drug from Russia (Krokodil) is spreading to the US. Its injected and it eats your from the inside out. But most reported cases of Krokodil have not had a positive toxicology report. People are being treated for having Krokodil like symptoms but none proven. Researchers believe that it will most likely not spread to the US because it was created to replace heroin with codeine. In the US codeine requires a prescription but in Russia it does not. In the US heroin is available but in Russia it requires a prescription. I don't really know, Ive heard stories of Krokodil but now it has me questioning them because if there haven't been positive toxicology reports than that means that they are just drug overdoses and not Krokodile. I don't know why anyone, even a junkie, would want to it because it eats your skin away but you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat.
