ANNOTATION: A powerful animal sedative in the illicit drug supply is complicating the U.S. response to the opioid crisis.

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters:
“So, xylazine is an animal grade tranquilizer that is commonly used to adulterate the heroin and fentanyl supply. So, unfortunately, we are seeing the long-term use of xylazine is causing large open ulcers on our friends, and that's leading to the wound becoming necrotic, which means dead tissue and eventually amputation. And it was originally put in there to give the suply legs, to make that euphoric feeling last longer. It causes high sedation.”

12. Wide of Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters, at the group’s storefront in Kensington
ANNOTATION: Savage Sisters provides outreach and care to people with addiction. The group says xylazine is making the drug crisis worse.
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters:
“So, nobody asked for xylazine in the drug supply and before anybody knew it, everyone, like the community is now chemically dependent on it. So, yes, people do seek it out because they are dependent on it. And it has become the main supply.”

17. SOUNDBITE (English), Kathy Lalli, nurse , Kensington Hosptial:
“All these are wounds from tranq, O.K? So you know what is the tranq, right? (Ellwood said, “xylazine?”) Even though you inject there, it comes wherever it wants to come out.”
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Ellwood Warren, patient:
“I can see what it’s doing to me. I mean, it's deteriorated my health and my body tremendously almost overnight, you know.”

19. Dr. Jennifer Love, Emergency Medicine Physician at The Mount Sinai Hospital
20. Cut away of hospital equipment
ANNOTATION: It's not yet clear if xylazine is leading to more deaths. Some research suggests it may inadvertently be diluting the effects of fentanyl.
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Jennifer Love, Mount Sinai Hospital:
“Xylazine exposure in an overdose might not be as dangerous as we expect, we still have to understand the short and long-term effects of Xylazine on our patients. There may be long-term health effects that we don’t yet know about that could be very severe and very harmful for patients. And once we understand them better, we will be able to better care for our patients when we see them.”
