Corrupted cocaine sold in Britain making skin rot - Four fifths of cocaine sold in Britain has been cut with veterinary dewormer

The report describes cocaine use as "widespread" and suggests the only recognized treatment for the effects of using cocaine adulterated with levamisole is abstinence from the drug

A fresh threat is facing cocaine users in Britain with 80 per cent of the drug being cut with a chemical which causes skin to rot.

The horrific side-effects are being produced by levamisole, a cow and horse de-worming agent.

Users are left with ulcerating skin lesions and discolored rotting skin caused by blood cells rupturing.

In addition the chemical can lead to a drop in the white cell blood count.
