Wound botulism among people who inject heroin in Norway – joint ECDC/EMCDDA rapid risk assessment
Lisbon, 31.10.2013
As of 28 October 2013, six cases of wound botulism have been reported in Norway among people who had injected heroin. Two cases have been confirmed through mice inoculation and four are suspected cases with laboratory results pending. All cases reported heroin use and most reported intramuscular injection of heroin. They all reside in the Oslo area or in neighbouring municipalities.
The source of infection is thought to be a batch of contaminated heroin. The geographical distribution of the potentially contaminated heroin is unknown at this time, as is the distribution stage at which the heroin may have been contaminated.
The potential risk for the EU/EEA will depend on the stage of contamination. If heroin contamination occurred early in the stage of distribution, it cannot be excluded that additional wound botulism-infected heroin injectors will be identified in the EU/EEA. No person-to-person transmission has ever been reported.
Guidance on drug treatment and prevention and control of infections among people who inject drugs has recently been issued by ECDC and the EMCDDA. The two agencies will continue to monitor the evolution of this situation in terms of the epidemiological information available.

That is not something to fuck with, this is why i think global legalization of logical drugs such as shrooms and mariuana, the places with such things legalized have the LOWEST hard drug use in the world. maybe one day the world can change...

What would be wrong with pharmaceutical grade heroin in ampules, pills, or syrup? All Standardized.
More then 70% of ODs are a result of poly drug consumption

Krokodil has been shown in the media to cause skin-melting blisters and other gross open-wound cuts.

Nor is it heroin... by a country mile. Also it said it was being IM'd, not sure why the fuck people would intentionally be doing that, you are better off shooting in the groin or even neck than risking abscesses etc from IM use.
