Oh Druggies...


Apparently those wacky South Americans are getting cheap on us. According to an article in Scientific American there are reports that more people than before are being documented as showing up requiring medical attention.

Their skin is dying and their immunity has been compromised.

This isn’t a blog about me feeling sorry for these people by the way. Just in case you didn’t know me by now. This risk is attributed to internal bleeding from small blood vessels which causes a rash on the skin that looks like this.

Drug manufacturers are diluting their cocaine using a veterinary deworming medication called levamisole. This particular medication has yet another interesting side effect. “..a sometimes fatal lowered count of white blood cells that are called neutrophils…In one disease, the body’s immune system attacks the skin; in the other, it attacks the bone marrow.”

Why do you do this stupid humans? We are all old enough to know the dangers of drugs. Why do you still take them? Why don’t you just kill yourself? Why make your friends, your family members and tax payers suffer for your idiocy?

Hospital rooms are being occupied by these people!  They made the decision that their experience was worth more than their lives.  Why are we left to pay the consequence?  Perhaps they should be turned away from hospitals so those who actually love life could be left to occupy the rooms and the medical attention.

What do you think?  Too harsh?
