Doctors say a flesh-eating homemade drug that was developed in Russia and the Ukraine has made its way to Missouri.


Krokodil is made with gasoline, paint thinner, hydrochloric acid, codeine and other chemicals and it produces a high similar to heroin.  Doctors in St. Louis began treating a man last December who had been injecting the drug for eight months before he was brought to St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights.  
Known as a "zombie drug" in Russia, over 100,000 people have been reported to have shot up  Krokodil since 2011.  Some people in bigger cities told authorities they thought they were buying heroin and ended up with the flesh eating drug that literally makes a users skin take on a crocodile like appearance before it rots off. 
Doctors in Arizona, Ohio, Illinois and Oklahoma have reported similar incidents but detecting the drug is difficult at this time because there is no diagnostic test for it.

Diagnosis is usually based on tell-tale lesions that appear at injection sites on the skin that gives it the appearance of crocodile scales because the body quickly metabolizes the drug's psychoactive agent, desomorphine.

Authorities say they haven't seen or heard of the drug making an appearance yet in Stone County.

RDoctors Dany Thekkemuriyil and Unnikrishnan Pillai treated a user in December in the emergency room of SSM St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights, who had been using Krokodil for eight months prior to being seen. “We saw that his finger fell off and we saw a severe looking ulcer and sores on his thigh and it did really fit the picture of Krokodil,” Thekkemuriyil said to KTVI-TV in St. Louis. The doctors reported their findings to the American Journal of Medicine in February “Our case is the first case that's been published in a recognized medical journal.” Krokodil, also know as desomorphine, can cause extensive tissue damage, and cause infections that turn soft tissue into decomposing flesh similar to gangrene at the injection sites. - See more at: http://hiphopwired.com/2013/11/15/flesh-eating-krokodil-drug-appears-u-s/#sthash.CEyEqhO3.dpufead more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/11/15/4623215/st-louis-hospital-says-man-used.html#storylink=cpy

Addictions are sad.. These are not people deservant of pain and suffering. And NEVER judge people because they sin differently than you. The conditions in Russia that lead these homeless teens to concoct such drugs is sad too.

First off, the addicts don't deserve this, they asked for it by trying the stuff in the first place. There are consequences to everything you do. Do you feel sorry for the serial killer that killed his first victim and got addicted to the rush so he goes off and kills 30 something other people? Your not wise by spewing the crap you are. Addicts should be locked up. This keeps them from harming themselves and others. You feel sorry for addicts? What about the old man in Big Spring TX that got strangled to death by two addict so they can steal his stuff and sell it for crack. Get a life. You say not to judge, then why do you pray for them? Are you saying that they are doing things that need praying for? If they want to shoot the stuff, let them. But lock them up. Better for them to kill themselves with this crap than to kill another for it.

I don't know that they deserve it per say but its definitely 100% their fault. Every person in the world is taught from day one.. drugs are bad. If you do them anyway its your own fault when you end up this way.. then you try to call it a sickness?..well you're just stupid.

I commented this but ill say it again. I don't think they deserve it per say but every person in the world is told from day one 'drugs are bad' so if you do them anyway and end up like this you have no one to blame but yourself. Its not a sickness its called addiction and no self control. People are so ignorant thefuck you think you're gonna gain by doing drugs? A good high for a minute wow so worth it. Oh man you may have just impressed your friends! They only want you to do it so they don't feel as shitty about themselves. Smoke some weed you wanna get fuckin high.

Im a recovering addict of 4 years to this date. Being an addict is not a sickness, its a choice. No one else forces you to inject drugs, it all up to your own decisions. Quitting is hard but when you kno you want to stop you do. No ifs ands or buts... The withdrawal process is the worst, & it took 2-3 years before I got back to my old self and my chemical balances in my brain were normal. To this day I will never use again, like I stated its not a sickness. Thats just what the weak say so you could pity them.

Anonymous said...

Exactly. If addiction is a sickness then you need to get over "its all about me cause I'm sick" and get on with your life. Think of all the young people and little children 10,11, 12 year olds who are doing these things. Children learn what they live and guess what these are the people we will be depending on to take care of us when we get to old or sick to take of ourselves that's awful. God help us all!

Anonymous said...

I think what this person is trying to say but in a very unproductive way. Is that addiction is a disease of choice. If you don't try it there's no problem. If you try it and chose to continue to use it , it makes addiction your choice. I to feel this way. Though I do not feel that foul language and violence towards addicts is the answer. It is quite evident that no one has an easy fix for addiction. Your kind of hatred and that of people like you is what makes this world a harder place to live in. Which only adds to problems, and does nothing to help.

To all the addicts and bleeding hearts out there. If you want to do drugs that obviously ruin your lives and makes those around you suffer. Go for it, didn't mean I want it around me or my family. I spent eighteen months trying to help my ex get over his addiction, only to have him lie, steal, cheat, and commence to become physically and mentally abusive. I have no problem with people doing drugs, it's your life, you ruin it, but stay away from me and mine own, I want no part of it.

Addiction is not a sickness. Addiction is a weakness. People hide behind all the lies to cover themself or loved once. In all realitly anyone can decide to do drugs or walk away. It's the weak who get high because it's a so call escape from dealing with life and other problems they have brought onto themselfs.

LOL at the people defending the drug addicts acting like they're such good people of the society. They chose to shoot it? Well, they get the consequences, nothing to say sorry for or nothing to judge. I say this coming from the suffering of a family who has a meth head addict son who beats up his entire family and acting stupid. Does the family deserve it? No. If they can make people around them suffer, and stupid enough to inject stuff like this and kill themselves, let them do it.

U all talk about addiction. U all know what is bad we all are addicted to something it may be drugs or not even drug related. EVERYONE has an addiction whether u think u do or not. So I'm sad for the the ones who judge.

Someone who gives a S*@t. said...

I can't believe what I am reading. For you who judge, I can only imagine how badly you have damaged your kids with your total lack of compassion. Leave that job to God. No you are not God, so come on down that pedistal your perched on and join the real world. This is not your world thank God, for if it was Heaven help us all. How dare you look down and condemn another human being with such a tortured existence as being held down by an addictive drug. They are fighting for their life with all the strength they have left from whatever it is that led them down that awful path. They are Teacher's, Nurse's, Doctor's, Neighbor's, Brother's and Sister's,they are someone's child, but mostly they are God's children one and all as we all are. They are your brother's. Brother's you should help and feel for. It's not about how much money you have or how good looking or cute you are or what kind of car you drive that puts you above the rest. It's not how strong you are or how weak they are either. You can't walk in their shoes. You have no idea what trauma they go thru everyday or what they have gone thru to get them where they are. I would rather break bread with an addict than a judgmental hypocrite. How many people do you THINK you know that take some kind of medication to dull their pain? be it codeine or tylenol or cough medicine or valium or vicodine or viagra for that matter. Just because it comes with a label doesn't make them any less a drug. Should we lock all those old ladies and smoker's and your neighbor's and people having a drink after work or during who knows what? Is that a righteous answer? Let he who is withour sin cast the first stone. Sound familiar? Probably not. You would have to know the teachings of the bible. Something you may not acknowledge but someday you will have no choice and with all the kindness and compassion I am reading from some of you, I would really rethink the way you treat people or be very scared to die. I sure wouldn't want to be you. The shame is you'll teach your ways to your children and they will have no compassion or tolerance for others either. Serial killer's, animal abuser's and child predator's come from people who judge and have no use for the word compassion. YOUR self worth is given to you by YOU. Nobody else wants to hear your ignorant opinion on another person's worth. Kindness and compassion should be first in all things. We were all born innocent and your kind of hate is taught not born. Seek church and do some random acts of kindness and maybe you will be able to truly look yourself in the mirror one day and not be so miserable. Try it, you will find great reward in helping your fellow man instead of kicking him while he's down. Thou shalt not Judge. You give your opinions to much credit for those of you who said such disgusting and heartless things about addicts. Karma has an ugly way of slapping you back into reality. Hopefully not thru your own family. I'll pray for you. God Bless You All and Merry Christmas.
P.S. Go hand out blankets to the people freezing out there and expect nothing for it in return but a big grateful smile and a God Bless you from those less fortunate than you.

I just wonder how many people who have posted hate comments about addiction not being a disease and all the addicts fault, were smoking their cigarettes while typing? I guess YOUR addiction is cleaner and better than the heroin user, right?? Tell me, how many times have you tried to put your cigarettes down but were unable to stop? There are Physical and Mental aspects to the disease concept of addiction. Some of the main characteristics are that addiction is Primary (it will be placed in front of everything in their lives), it is Chronic (never goes away completely), it is Progressive (without treatment it will always get worse, never better)and ultimately it is Fatal (If they do not stop the addiction, the addiction will stop them). These characteristics can also be applied to your cigarette addiction. So, before you jump onto a public forum and spew your lack of knowledge, do some research. Addicts do not quit using because they have no self respect. These comments only increase the stigma which keeps addicts from seeking treatment. Put out your cigarette, get off Facebook, cancel your 4th trip to the casino this week and do a little looking at yourself and your personal situations. Remove the plank in your eye before condemning someone for the splinter in theirs.

First off.. addiction is an illness. Your body becomes physically and emotionally dependent on the drug. It is usually self induced, but not always. Example: a person gets into a horrible car accident. They prescribed pain killers to make life more comfortable. The person while taking their medicine as instructed becomes dependent on it.
Example number 2: a young teen experiments with drugs. Not intending on the addiction that could potentially arise from use. They are after all, pretty much ignorant because they are still children. Whether or not they seek treatment to cure or help their addiction is the difference. The ones that choose to live with it and enjoy it are the ones that are warts to society. Addiction can be a very cruel illness. But it isn't incurable.

Addiction is a mental illness. They need help, but they don't want it. The people who do want help know to reach out. I don't feel bad for those selfish people who want to get high just a little longer. Good people are dying of cancers and diseases and would give anything to have life a little longer. Then these people are throwing it away because they don't care about anything except getting high. Boo hoo.

Yes i agree that every single person who has ever did anything stupid in their life has a choice. But to sit here and read your comments just makes me shake my head. I'm an addict,have done time in prison,and have done things im not proud of. Now every one of you hyprocritical fucks who think we should rot in hell for what we've done need to take a long hard look at yourselves and your lives and tell me that you've never done anything stupid in your life. You cant!!! Everybody has made stupid decisions! You cant judge somebody for something they have done. It just so happens that maybe your stupidness didnt come with a gut wrenching soul stealingwithdrawal. Stupid fucks....why dont you go to church and pray and after that go home n drink in your closet because 90% you commenting on this do anyways. Hypocritical fucks! O and the marijuana comments.....you religious dick fucks it was YOUR "god" that put it here for us to use. I smoke cuz it helps with my back and joint pain. My dr suscribes me very addictive pain pills for it so if im such a bad fkn addict then tell me why do i refuse his man made pills?? Instead of walkin a mile in someone's shoes try living a day in their head. If you're uneducated about something then keep your comments to yourself because EVERY human being is an addict.....and all any addict wants is more.

This is about the flesh eating drug: How can they not test for this? If it has codene surely there is a test for that. Also what about the other ingredients, there should be a way to test for it. And the suppliers need to be stopped. I don't care if its a persons choice to shoot up or not, a flesh eating disease is not what they bought. If this was some residue that you could come in contact with by going to a common place like the store and later had spots like that it would matter to those that are being horribly judgmental. I just hope the people transporting this knowingly decides to stop transmitting this.

Ok their are many forms of illness and some addictions come from certain mental illnesses, like post traumatic stress, some come from chronic pain issues that are ignored or go unadressed. To simply say that an addict should basically kill themselves just because they have a problem is just ignorant. For some its a problem of will power, others it becomes a way to escape from the troubles in their lives, and for some it comes from where they can't live day by day with what they've had to do in their lives and its a way to dull the pain. But no matter what they are human beings and someone cares about them, their someones child mother son sister ext, they just have a problem and when their trying to get help for it is not the time to degrade or belittle them no one here is innocent we have all done things in our lives that we regret or aren't proud of that dosent mean were bad people. But you should look to yourself before you decide to judge or condemn others. He who is without sin cast the first stone

Sad to think that this once proud nation has been brought to such lows. Society has tought us that we should pitty those who refuse to take care of themselves. The 3rd and 4 th generation welfare addicts. The drug abusers, the killers., sexual predators, child molesters all because you weak minded sheep call it a sickness. A sickness is a virus, a cancer if you will. A "sickness" is not an excuse. It is not a reason to leave children with out parents. To strip our youth of the innocence. To take a life of a son, brother, wife or daughter. This type of "sickness" is one that is selfish and 100percent self inflicted. I for one have no pitty for these types of users. The only thing that stands in the way of their"sickness" and a healthy productive life is themselves and thier weak construction. For all of the addicts out there. Please . Take some responsibility for your actions. No one and nothing can decide your fate. No-one can force anything upon you that you haven't already decided that you want. I have never witnesses a needle full of Meth or Heroin run across a room and plunge itself into someone 's vain. Take some responsibility and raise your own children. Get a job. Pay your taxes and quit your crying. No-one has a perfect life. And you won't either. You can only do the best that you can and hope that your children do it better.

I don't believe that I have ever heard of anyone robbing homes, selling themself, or pimping out their children for a pack of Marlboro lights. I understand that you should clean your own house before pointing ount the mess at your neighbors. But many of the people commenting on this matter have parents, siblings and ex's that use this as an excuse. I have been a smoker, drinker and drug user. I have lost my wife, job and home all in a sort time frame. But there comes a time when you have to grow up take care of what is important and be an adult. It is not a sickness it is a choice. And the sickness that you have referred to is not a sickness . It is a side effect of stupidity.

Alyssa said...

You don't do drugs to "just get high" you idiots!! Those of you who are being judgmental and rude have obviously never even dealt with addiction. It is a sickness. An mental illness that can consume you like a cancer. Usually, people start drugs to numb the pain they are going through. Others have grown up around it and don't know any other way of life. Yes it is their fault, but they need help. Not rude people saying they deserve this. You want to hate on them? Walk in their shoes. Go through what they are going through and try to avoid drugs. It's hard. Really hard. (oh and btw, Alcohol is a drug too and can be just as dangerous as other drugs if not worse.)

FINALLY an intelligent response!
Addiction is not sickness but a problem. Yes one chooses to engage in the use of drugs but once addiction takes hold its not so much of a choice anymore. This includes the socially accepted yet still very much a problem of alcohol abuse. I think treatment is a must but to say such evil things as they need to die or be locked up ignorant. Not all addicts commit crimes or a danger to society. Yes it is illegal to buy drugs but what about the pill epidemic that is legally prescribed by a doctor, legally filed by a pharmacist then consumed at home by the patient that does nothing more than nod off? I've known many ppl that guy hooked on pain pills not by choice but by a legitimate injury that was treated by pain medication over such a length of time that their body became addicted to the medication. Let's not sit in a glass house and throw stones as No one is perfect and we all have a stranger we hide. Hate and judgement does not address, change, or improve the issue of drug abuse. To the person encouraging the use of marijuana. ..that to is an illegal drug in most states and federally in all states so your promoting the problem as I know got a fact there are negative consequences to its use, just look at the birth defects it causes! Educate yourselves then get off your soap boxes and do something instead of hiding behind the internet condemning people with problems even if said problems are self inflicted or not!

My name is Tracie. I hate to see this happen to anyone. Addiction don't only effect the person doing drugs but their family and friends as well. I lost my daughter this year to addiction and no one should have to go through what my family has been through. She was a very loving girl that would do anything for anyone. She suffered depression after being raped at the age of 12. She never fully recovered from this and her way to cope was drugs. This didn't make her a bad person, she just needed help. She lost her life at 21 and left a baby that will never know her. Don't look down on the addict, you don't know what happened to get them to that point.

Reading a lot of bold words from anonymous people.
Addiction is NOT a sickness like cancer a all. Addiction is what weak minded people use to deal with life.
Now before you roast me over an over fire... yes I was sexual, physical, mentally, and any other way you can think of abused as a child. My first husband cheated on me and beat me. One of my kids is even disabled.
It is my choice not to be an addict like my father, not to abuse my kids, not to be a criminal, I maybe a product of my environment but I do not have to live there forever.

I choose to be a productive member of the world, helping make things better not adding to the problems.

For some people in this feed..it sounds like you have suffered from an active addicts behavior. Please go to a ALA-NON group. Its a group to help families and friends of addicts. Its free and anoymous. It will help you deal with the hurt addicts have caused in your life and what leads people to addiction. Many who are so judgemental just need help because they have been hurt and are coming at life from a place of anger.

Some of you people sound so damn ignorant! Addiction is a disease, I bet none of you have suffered and or dealt with addiction. Im a recovering addict of 7yrs and have been sober for 2yrs now, tho I never resorted to needles i did to every thing else under the sun except meth crack or heroin. People suffering from this life altering disease need help not to be ridiculed by others that have no idea what they are going thru..."the road of life is rocky and you may stumble too, so why you point your finger someone else is judging you"

It's their fault for ever trying the drug so they should be able to deal with the consequences. Nobody should feel sorry for someone who chooses to self inflict themselves.

All I can say is that if you look at the picture posted, and think, "ya, getting high is worth my skin becoming extremely infected and rotting off", then your addiction levels are through the roof! It's definitely time to evaluate the source of your problems. I've struggled with addiction & have seen some very good people turn into bad nothings from drugs or alcohol. It is usually more deeply rooted than just looking for something to do. But this stuff, these crazy concoctions that kill every part of you, and are used on an epidemic level have GOT to stop!
I don't want to be a hypocrite and say one thing is better than another, but in my opinion, if it's natural, you probably won't see as many god-awful side-effects as if it is not.
Yet, I agree, people make choices, those choices have an end result & if you're not prepared to deal with it, sorry, but don't blame anyone else for the choices you make!

what is our society doing to itself. We need more drug awareness. Programs but seems like even this isn't working.

Lol wow I can't believe all the drug addicts that are trying to defend there drugs. Basically saying addiction is a sickness and they can't help it. Bullshit.. That's why the world is fucked up and jails are full. Trying to get your dumb asses off the street. The ones of us that work non stop to build a life get everything taken or stolen because some jack off wants to get high. Not needed. Just wants to. Die on ur own damn it. Stop starting shit with the rest of us. IDC what any of you say. I'm 24 yrs old bust my ass everyday and trying to raise a family. My kids can't even play in the park with out wondering if they are going to get poked with a needle or anything. Tell you what. I'll be nice. Just all u (addicts) do me a favor.. Go take all the drugs u want. Fuck ur life up all you want. But plz stay home or somewhere the kids ain't... If your so (sick) then stay away from others.. Thanks.. Oh ya my opinion, take ur drugs and try not to overdose :)

The Flesh eating drug just goes to show you people with try anything. Get a job, quit killing, stealing and battering people because you're high and you think we should feel sorry for you! No I don't feel sorry for you! I am probably a little smarter because I don't do drugs. If I'm down on my luck I get up and do something about it! Sorry, drugs are a cop out!!
