Flakka/Bath Salts Leads to Another Gruesome Attack
NSU Epidemiologist/Subject Matter Expert Provides Interviews for Media on "Zombie Drug"
NSU Epidemiologist Jim Hall
It’s happened again – an alleged incident of someone who appears to have been under the influence of an illicit/illegal drug – Flakka (aka – bath salts.) The suspect allegedly stabbed a couple to death in Martin County, Florida and then appeared to be biting the face of one of the victims – something that has happened in the past and involved individuals under the influence of this powerful drug.
To help explain what this drug is and how it affects people who use it, NSU’s resident expert and epidemiologist Jim Hall spoke with a few media outlets working on related stories. You can read the stories via the links below:
