Beware of the xylazine threat! ❌ This animal anesthetic is now being consumed for human use, without realizing some of the serious consequences it can have on your health. What makes xylazine especially dangerous, is that it not being an opioid means its effects can not be reversed by naloxone. Ingesting xylazine can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and breathing, while injecting it can cause serious wounds and infection that can sometimes even lead to amputation. Don’t take risks when it comes to your health! 💙 #XylazineAwareness #DrugAwareness #Xylazine
