Police: Cocaine cutting agent sending users to hospital - BostonHerald.com: "Police are warning that a chemical used to deworm animals is being added to cocaine and causing users to be hospitalized, reports the Portsmouth Herald.
City police were contacted by officials from a Boston-area hospital over the weekend and warned that multiple patients were showing up with adverse reactions to cocaine laced with levamisole, said Sgt. Mike Schwartz. The hospital reported patients were being treated “and they have a connection to Portsmouth,” he said.
“They called us for a reason,” said Schwartz, while declining to elaborate because an investigation is ongoing."
