The drug known as 'tranq' can cause such horrific wounds (necrotic skin ulcers) on your skin that it’s being dubbed a “zombie drug.”
Frequent, persistent, or worsening skin infectionsSevere skin ulcers are usually a result of injecting tranq. But regardless of where you puncture your skin with tranq, the gashes could show up on a different part of your body.
If you have severe skin lesions, your doctor will do a skin biopsy. They will remove a sample of your affected skin tissue and test it under a microscope to see what’s causing it. They can also do wound cultures, which involves taking a swab of your wound to check for germs that might be causing the infection.How Do You Treat Tranq Overdoses?
In fact, tranq can be so potent that you’ll need several doses of naloxone to reverse the effects of the opioids present in the tranq mixture and revive someone who’s been exposed. But it doesn't improve the breathing or heart issues that tranq causes. Also, if you develop withdrawal symptoms, there’s no medication to help with it.
There are antidotes for xylazine that vets use on animals, but they’re not FDA-approved for use in humans.If you frequently use illicit substances like opioids, you might get exposed to or take tranq intentionally or accidentally. Because they can have such dangerous effects on your health, it’s important to use them safely.
