A flesh-eating bacteria linked to the use of black tar heroin has killed at least seven people over the past two months in the San Diego area, prompting health authorities to alert law enforcement and other officials in California.

Nine people who injected black tar heroin between Oct. 2 and Nov. 24 were hospitalized with severe myonecrosis, a soft-tissue infection that destroys muscles. Of the seven who died, five were men. The nine patients ranged from 19 to 57.

Also, 13 people in Southern California have been diagnosed with wound botulism since Sept. 1, which also may be tied to black tar heroin, said Dr. Eric McDonald, director of epidemiology and immunization services at the San Diego County Health & Human Services Agency.

 

I assume this is the organic variety.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

You may also want to avoid Zantac, Round-up Weed Killer, and Losartin. At least that's what all those legal ads on tv say...

hey I feel ya... Metformin about made my dad lose his mind (if your kidneys aren't right do not take that stuff!), and the Eliquis about did him right in (did you know despite doctors pushing this drug, if you should get a hemorrhage from it there is no FDA cleared drug that can reverse the damage compared to older traditional blood thinners?). Crazy how they give people drugs that lead to even worse things than how you started out..
