"Crocodile's" tears

 

Desomorphine is gaining an increasing popularity among drug users, conceding only the heroin. In the circle of experienced drug users this substance is called a crocodile for its incredible toxicity. Already after a few dozen uses the skin of a drug addict becomes like a scale. The places where the addict enters this explosive mixture with impurities of acetone, gasoline, household chemicals, sores and covers with crust. A drug addict starts looking for a new place for the injection, and after some time the "scale" of the ulcer is formed on the body, merging together.

The first use of "crocodile" is addictive, and the addict is unable to quit drugsby himself. Being derived from morphine, this substance, however, is 20 times more chemically active. The drug quickly burns and clogs blood vessels, after which a person's hands and feet begin to wither. If the limb is not amputated, gangrene begins. The internal organs start to cover with abscesses and begin to rot. The muscles and the skin torn apart from the bones. And that person starts smelling a putrid.

The average life expectancy of the heroin addicts after the consumption is about five years, desomorphine addict dies within a year or two after the first injection. A chance to save him, however, remains only in the first four months. If the experts will not be able to help a person quit drugs in this period, the body starts to decay, and doctors can only extend the addict's life for a while.
