"Deadly New 'Zombie Drug' Causing Mass Overdoses Across U.S."

A new chemical sedative, medetomidine, is being mixed with fentanyl and other street drugs, causing mass overdoses in cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Toronto. This drug, which is 100 times more potent than xylazine, has led to severe health issues, including dangerously low heart rates and gruesome skin wounds. Public health advisories have been issued in several states, and experts emphasize the need for immediate medical attention and rescue breathing in addition to naloxone during overdoses.
