Although it is not designed for human consumption, many US residents still use this medicine. US officials announced that tranq-related death cases would be 34 times higher in 2021 compared to the past years.

According to The Daily Mail UK's latest report, the zombie drug crisis' seriousness was seen during the recent Independence Day celebration on July 4. Numerous photos showed how people in Philadelphia were plagued with homeless "zombies."

Many of these tranq addicts are aware of the negative effects of the drug on their bodies. But, they can't get away with their addiction because of drug dealers and users who give them free samples until they're wasted.

"When you start getting sick from the tranq, you start shaking violently, salivating, and vomiting. You're pretty much just a mess on the ground," said Devin Bair, one of the xylazine addicts in Philadelphia.

Another tranq user said the drug will eat human flesh, describing it as "self-destruction at its finest." After photos of tranq addicts in Philadelphia were published, US officials released new reports stating that the deaths related to xylazine are now 34 times higher.

Will the UK Also Fall Victim to America's Zombie Drug?

News Medical recently reported that the zombie drug had already claimed its first British victim; a 43-year-old man.

Based on his medical records, the man had a history of illicit drug usage. He is mostly consuming cocaine and heroin.

Although his death certificate includes numerous drugs that contributed to his passing, including xylazine is still a serious matter for the UK government.

His death marked the entry of xylazine medicine in the United Kingdom. UK health leaders are already doing their best to prevent the spread of the tranq zombie drug in the country.

One of their efforts is to issue an urgent warning in e-cigarettes after vape products were discovered to be containing xylazine.

But, since the tranq drug already took its first British victim, UK officials need to make more efforts to avoid the fate of Americans.
