SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The images look like something out of a horror movie. Rotting flesh and open sores, this terrible drug is called Desomorphine, commonly known as “Krokodil” or “Krok.”
South Bend police worry that because the drug is a lot cheaper than heroin and easy to make, it could put officers and first responders at great risk.
“These individuals that come in contact daily with law enforcement have a raging case of MRSA a lot of times too, so we are going to have a big health threat to officers if this really takes off,” said South Bend Police Capt. Phil Trent.
