News emerged out of Arizona this week that two people were admitted to a poison control center for symptoms that resemble the effects of Krokodil, a cheap and toxic Russian replacement for heroin. Krokodil can be made in around 30 minutes and requires mixing codeine with chemicals like paint thinner, gasoline, or alcohol. This often causes the skin to grown hard and scaly, or the flesh to rot straight off.
Here are some of the most gruesome and revolting videos of the effects of krokodil:
