17 YR OLD GIRL USES DEADLY FLESH EATING DRUG KROKODIL AND IS HOSPITALIZED WITH GENITAL TEARS

Deadly flesh-eating drug Krokodil has spread to Mexico where a teen girl has been injecting it into her genitals.
The 17-year-old reportedly shocked doctors in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, after showing up with "severe lacerations" to her reproductive organs.

Medics initially thought she'd contracted a horrifying sexually transmitted disease.
But she confessed her injuries were caused by her addiction to the drug — a poisonous cocktail of codeine, gasoline, paint thinner, hydrochloric acid, iodine and red phosphorous.

"The young woman who used this drug had an infection that had rotted her genitals," Mexico's National Institute of Migration's José Sotero Ruiz Hernández told El Periodico Correo.

"It wasn't sexually transmitted. She said she'd been using Krokodil for the last two months," he added.

The woman also reportedly told Hernández that the drug, which kills most addicts within a year of their first hit, was "readily available" on the city's street corners.
The injected narcotic, dubbed "the drug that eats junkies" but with the medical name of desomorphine, originated in Russia.

Three times cheaper to produce than heroin, victims suffer from gangrenous sores that open all the way to the bone.

Its use has spread across Russia "like a plague" since 2002, and there were 3 million users in 2011, a Time magazine investigation reported.
