First modification:
Drug users in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood are increasingly turning to a drug called xylazine or ‘tranq,’ a veterinary sedative often mixed with other drugs such as heroin or fentanyl. But when people start consuming the substance, it quickly causes terrible damage to their bodies, including necrosis and breakdown of skin tissue. Authorities in Philadelphia and across the country are increasingly concerned about the spread of the drug and the harm to victims.
