Los Angeles County Sheriff’s officials have launched a new program to track the troubling prevalence of the flesh-eating “zombie drug" known as xylazine. Xylazine is a sedative drug used by veterinarians to anesthetize animals.
---
The drug, also known as “tranq,” “tranq dope,” on the streets, has become increasingly present in the illicit drug supply.
---
The drug can be cooked down into a powder form and mixed with illicit opioids such as heroin and fentanyl or pressed into counterfeit pills or sedatives. The “zombie drug” nickname stems from the drug’s known effect of rotting the skin. KTLA's Karen Wynter reports on May 11, 2023.
