Heroin overdoses killed nearly 200 people in Cuyahoga County alone last year.
Now, there’s a cheaper, even more potent synthetic heroin out there.
Krokodil is a flesh-eating, gasoline and codeine based heroin substitute. This drug does horrific things to users bodies.
“It’s a zombie drug, it literally kills you from the inside out. If you want a way to die, this is a way to die,” says one doctor.
Krokodil is made by mixing codeine tablets with household chemicals and gasoline, paint thinner or lighter fluid. It can cause brain damage and rots the skin from the inside out.
