 NURSE’S NOTES

January, 2008

It is being handed out to kids in school yards in Arkansas.  It will probably make its way around the country if it hasn’t already.  Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the E.R. in dire condition.

 

It is also available in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape, and orange flavors.  It looks just like pop rocks.

There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks and smells like strawberry pop rocks.

 It is called strawberry meth or strawberry quick.

   

 

   
Please instruct your children to not accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc.

                        

Another drug that's been going around mainly in the Dallas, Texas area, is called “Cheese” because it resembles parmesan cheese.  It's a mix of heroin and Tylenol PM and it's being snorted like cocaine.  Each "hit" is going for about $2.00 making it very attainable and the withdrawal symptoms are supposed to be fierce.
