St. Clair County officials warn about the powerful synthetic drug 'Krokodil', which was recently seized by the Drug Task Force. Known as Desomorphine, Krokodil is a 10x more potent opioid than morphine and can result in severe tissue damage, gangrene, and potential limb amputation. Long-term users' skin may turn greenish and scaly, similar to a crocodile's, due to damaged blood vessels and soft tissues.
