A warning for the entire nation has been issued in regards to cocaine cut with levamisole that can cause a flesh eating disease.   This disease causes inflammations of the blood vessels that affects organs and tissues, including restricting blood flow to the skin causing it to rotten.  Users that have been affected by the flesh eating disease are showing symptoms such as purple spots that turn black as they rotten and skin ulcers. Although most outbreaks have been reported in Los Angeles and New York, it is still a national concern. Professionals believe the problem is just at the begining and has the potential of growing much bigger.

Along with cases of users contracting this skin rotting disease, cocaine that is cut with Levamisole has other cases of siezers, suppressed immune systems, overdoses and deaths. Levamisole is also known to prevent bone marrow from producing the white blood cells needed to fight infections, this alone can be fatal.

Levamisole is a synthetic drug mostly used to treat parasite worm infections in animals. At one point in time it was used to treatment these infections in humans, but was withdrawn from this use due to its harmful effects. Levamisole has become an increasingly popular addictive to cocaine, because it makes the drug seem more pure, increases the size and enhances the euphoric effects.

Cocaine is an addictive and deadly drug. Side effects of cocaine abuse include: increased blood pressure, paranoia, irritability, damages to vital organs,  restlessness, suicidal tendencies and thoughts, and overdose. Cocaine is dangerous enough without being mixed with another harmful synthetic drug. This should not be a warning for cocaine users to stay away from cocaine mixed with levamisole, but rather for cocaine users to stay away from cocaine and any other illegal drug all together. If a person has a cocaine addiction or abuse problem, it is important that he or she seeks professional cocaine addiction treatment. Nobody has to live their life suffering from any type of substance addiction or abuse, because their is always help available.
