Little Something With Your Coke?

Agranulocytosis. Dying white blood cells. Since white blood cells principally fight infection, if you develop this form of leukopenia, you're going to be at an increased risk for a whole host of contagions. What we've heard is that there is some cocaine on the market that is tainted with levamisole, an antiparasitic used in cojunction with other drugs for the treatment of cancer. It's also sold otc as a dewormer for livesock, dogs and for freshwater fishtanks. Why it's being cut into cocaine is anyone's guess, but apparently it's not the first time. However this time we have a health advisory.
