Zombie Apocalypse and the ‘bath salts’ link: 34 states already impacted per DEA
The zombie apocalypse that America and Canada is said to be experiencing this week due to ‘bath salts’ didn’t happen overnight, as some might think.
In fact, news released on Friday show that this law enforcement problem has been occurring around the country long before the Causeway cannibal face-eating attack in Miami, or the other cannibalistic acts in California, Canada or Maryland. In fact, law enforcement and medical personnel in as many as 34 states have been battling this growing ‘zombie apocalypse’ drug problem for quite some time.
The United States Drug Enforcement Agency really started to sit up and take notice of synthetic designer drugs in 2009, when so-called “fake pot” began making the rounds under the names K-2 and Spice, among others. Two reports about one of the key drugs in that product caught the DEA’s attention that year.
And thanks to poison control centers and hospitals joining law enforcement in making reports to the DEA, about the increases they began to see in those using the so-called “fake pot” products, a better picture began to emerge of the dangers currently being seen now, allegedly.
Reports of anxiety attacks, convulsions, elevated heart rates, increased blood pressure, as well as disorientation were being experienced in growing numbers. And fortunately 16 states listened up and took the necessary action to control those so-called fake pot drugs. But that was just the beginning, with recreational drugs known as ‘bath salts’ soon following.
By 2010 a key drug in both products had brought as many as 338 cases to their attention. Those numbers jumped in less than a year in 2011, when 911 cases were noted, and the problem had grown to impact as many as 34 states.
Almost one year ago this month, the New York Division of the DEA, under the leadership of Special Agent in Charge John Gilbride, finally took down a major ‘bath salts’ distributor, hoping to curb the recreational drug availability that is used at raves and as a recreational drug.
The dangerous substance is purchased at retail shops, gas stations and other businesses due to being labeled deceptively as bath salts, which are given many different names, including “Aura,” “Goodfellas,” “Ivory Wave,” “Russian River” and “Xtreme,” though there are many more names used as well.
The drug is typically snorted as powder or taken as a pill, according to the DEA. It is also injected intravenously and smoked by users who experience symptoms that range from panic attacks and increased heart rates to delusions and psychotic episodes. And if the toxicology screen in Miami comes back to reveal bath salts in the MacArthur “Causeway cannibal” attack, the adverse effects experienced will grow to include face-eating among other things.
By September of 2011, the DEA had heard enough negative reports on the adverse symptoms being experienced by those using the fake bath salts products labeled “Not for human consumption” that they immediately exercised their authority to control the three drugs most concerning: Mephedrone, MDPV and Methylone.
And they were not alone, as 33 states had now grown concerned enough to either ban or control the products containing these substances, which are usually labeled as “bath salts” or “plant food.” Five short months later, in February of this year, the DEA extended their control of this dangerous group of chemicals by six months, which by the way, is also in the so-called “fake Pot” products.
Miami’s face-eating attacker Rudy Eugene was said to be hooked on marijuana by one of his friends. It is unclear if he was possibly using the so-called “fake pot” that contains this dangerous drug under the watchful eye of the DEA or if it was a ‘bath salts’ product instead that may have resulted in the horrific zombie like attack on Ronald Poppo.

With reports of flesh-eating coming in from across the nation, rumors of a possible zombie outbreak are spreading on the Internet — but do you really have anything to worry about?
Zombie apocalypse: NJ incident causes SWAT team to decontaminate from gore
Another zombie apocalypse-type incident took place in Hackensack, New Jersey over the weekend, with details surfacing today. Police broke down the door and tried to subdue the man, but they retreated and had the SWAT Team go in. This scene was so gory, that the SWAT team needed to go through decontamination because of all the blood.
Wayne Carter, 43, barricaded himself in his bedroom and started stabbing himself with a 12 inch knife. The deep stab wounds in his abdomen caused his intestines to squeeze out through the wounds. When the SWAT team came through the door, he started throwing pieces of his intestines and flesh at the officers, according to South Coast Today.
The police used two cans of pepper spray on Carter, but it was like he felt nothing and continued stabbing himself. It is unknown what caused Carter to behave this way. An unknown person called 911 to report that Carter had barricaded himself in his room with a knife and was intending to hurt himself. This was the call that set the ball rolling. Carter is in the hospital in critical condition.
Carter had at least 50 self-inflicted stab wounds all over his body and it didn’t appear to bother him at all. This is the second such incident reported this weekend, with the first happening in Miami. Rudy Eugene was found naked and eating the face of a homeless man in broad daylight on a highway off-ramp. When an officer ordered Eugene away from the man, he growled and continued to chew on the victim, according to SMSEO.
When the officer shot him, this still didn’t stop Eugene from eating the flesh of his victim. This left the officer no choice but to continue shooting him until he was dead. The 64 year-old victim, Ronald Poppo, had 80% of his face eaten by Eugene and he is in critical condition in an area hospital today.

Both of these two men demonstrated behavior that is not something the people who know them have seen before. Both men showed an unusual tolerance to pain, with one being able to pull out his own intestines and the other being shot without stopping his attack.
Is this some type of new drug that is putting people in such a state of psychosis that they don’t respond to excruciating pain? Conspiracy theories take this as a sign that the zombie apocalypse is beginning. Do you agree or do you think they’ve watched too many episodes of the “Walking Dead?”
