Three new suspected cases of the flesh-eating drug krokodil have been reported in Ontario, Canada.
The reports of the lethal heroin substitute, which rots flesh from the inside out, mark the first time krokodil use has been made public in Canada.
According to independent Canadian television station CHCH, two men were hospitalized in St. Catharines in the past two weeks with gangrenous bodily sores associated with krokodil use, and the Niagara Regional Police are investigatinganother possible case in Niagara Falls.
The municipalities are located just a few miles from Canada’s border with the U.S., near Buffalo, N.Y.
