Calgon Arm Candy

It was pretty bad that people are using bath salts as a drug, but karma pays back those who are stupid enough to try it...

The first known case of necrotizing fasciitis aka flesh-eating disease, caused by an injection of bath salts has been reported.  Dr. Russell R. Russo (are you kidding me with that name?) and his colleaguesat the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans School of Medicine (are you kidding me with that name?), treated a 34-year-old women who developed forearm pain and redness after she attended a party. Normally, it would be bruised thighs and a swollen groin, but the only sign a small red puncture wound on her arm.

Eventually, the idiot woman admitted that she injected bath salts two days before her symptoms began, and upon reexamination they determined that she had necrotizing fasciitis. The disease progressed so rapidly that the doctors had to amputate the woman's arm, shoulder and collarbone and perform a radical mastectomy. The women later underwent skin grafting and rehabilitation, but no word if she's getting talking any night classes at the local city college or doing on-line school in order to try and raise her IQ.

There's so many other great drugs available out there which can totally kick your ass and not cause your arm to immediately rot, and I expect more from a 34 year-old.  I can't even be a grumpy old man and say "kids these days"...
