US zombie drug.. it's ALREADY HERE

FLESH-EATING zombie drug tranq has made its way on to the streets of Britain, sparking fears of a "public health threat" like that seen in the US.

Xylazine, a powerful animal tranquilliser, has become a deadly recreational drug sweeping the US.

The Mirror told on Monday how the drug, known as tranq, leaves addicts painfully contorted, like living zombies, on the streets of the US. It can also cause flesh-rotting skin sores and lead to suffocation.

Xylazine has been blamed for one death in the UK and may have contributed to several more.

In most cases the drug is mixed with strong opioids, such as heroin, but a study found it in counterfeit prescription medication, cannabis vapes and cocaine.
