This is a fairly solid reason to keep clear of the devil’s dandruff.
The reasons to stay clear of cocaine have always been fairly apparent to us – the nasal cavities, the vastly increased heart-rate, the fact that it can turn perfectly reasonable people into narcissistic arseholes – but this goes beyond the beyond.
In recent times it was discovered that roughly 80% of the cocaine to land on UK shores had been cut with Levamisole, which is a de-wormer given to cattle and horses.
However, a study in the British Medical Journal shows the dangers of humans ingesting the substance, and these pictures of a 42-year-old woman show how Levamisole can make healthy skin rot and turn black, while causing severe joint, muscle and abdominal pain.
This, via the Sunday World, isn’t pretty.
