"If you are a user of cocaine, you should be aware that some of the cocaine is not clean and can have other agents that can cause you to have a low white-cell count or skin tissue death," said Dr. Ghinwa Dumyati, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Rochester and an epidemiologist for the Monroe County Health Department in New York.
In a report in the June 1 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, Dumyati and doctors from the University of Rochester Medical Center discuss two cases involving women with a history of cocaine use who came to the hospital for help when they noticed purplish plaques on their cheeks, earlobes, legs, thighs and buttocks.

Anyway, she was a cocaine dealer and someone owed her a lot of money. The one who owed her money died. Someone had said that she had chopped glass in his cocaine. I don't know if that was really true or not, but it is a very scary thought. Tell that one to people you love too, it might make them think twice before they pick up a terrible addiction.
