Krokodil, Flesh-Eating Drug, Reported In Columbus, Ohio

Krokodil, Flesh-Eating Drug, Reported In Columbus, Ohio: Authorities in Columbus, Ohio, say they may have encountered their first case of the flesh-eating drug, krokodil.

A homeless man in Columbus told medics he had used the drug, which derives its name from the green-black lesions it leaves on the skin of users after injection.

"The patient had a large, open wound and it is consistent with what we've been seeing, or the trend when people use this type of medicine [sic]," Deputy Fire Chief Jim Davis told WBNS-TV on Friday.
