A new, flesh-eating drug has surfaced in Joliet, about 35-miles outside of Chicago. A doctor at St. Joe’s Hospital says he’s treated three patients who apparently used “Krokodil.” It’s a drug similar to meth but it’s cheaper to get and just about as easy to make. The problem is it causes gangrene and can even leave boils on the body, leading to infection and exposed bones. The Joliet doctor says using the drug can result in amputations or even death.
