Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called on the DEA to send 'diversion control teams' as the 'deadly, skin-rooting zombie drug' xylazine mixed with fentanyl makes it way to New York City.
D-N.Y. held a press conference in Manhattan Sunday to warn about"a deadly, skin-rotting zombie drug" that could make the scourge of fentanyl alone seem"tame."
Last week, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration issued a public safety alert reporting the widespread threat of fentanyl mixed with xylazine. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he would make addressing the scourge of xylazine a priority in upcoming budget proposals. "The results are deadly. It can rot your skin. It can eat away at your bones. It can cause legs to be amputated," Schumer said."And worse, xylazine can make fentanyl look tame because it doesn’t respond to Narcan. This evil drug – it’s not evil when it’s used legitimately – but this evil drug has no Narcan. Narcan has saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
