Eats Away At Flesh, Causes Horrific Suffering? Sure, Break Me Off A Piece O' That

It's a fair question: Is the Krokodil "epidemic" sweeping America actually a fake? That's Slate's take, considering that there's been one -- one -- alleged case of the flesh-eating drug reported in America and that one was withdrawn; otherwise, there hasn't been even a sample of the stuff showing up in any lab in the country. It DOES exist in eastern Europe in poor countries where heroin is scarce, but the story might be overblown. Not that you don't want to read about the alleged Mexican teen who allegedly injected alleged Krokodil into her alleged vagina. Doctors say they thought it was a horrific STD. Well, yeah, that would be pretty horrific. Allegedly. (Slate; New York Daily News)
