  • Parents should check their children's hands for missing skin as a sign they're on tranq dope.
  • Tranq causes necrotic skin death similar to a brown recluse spider bite, leaving hard dead tissue you can knock on.
  • News coverage frames tranq users as real-life zombies with rotten flesh, treating it like a bad movie that's actually happening.
