Part 3: “I Learned Something New Today”

The term ‘zombie drugs’ was originally used for synthetic Cathinones (street names: bath salts, flakka, gravel, etc.).

U.S. troops deployed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan openly used the word “zombie” for flakka users … because their behavior looked so damn much like the zombie movies back home.

In 2012, media coverage of “zombie” incidents spiked.

Some journalists asked, “Is the zombie apocalypse happening?” The concern got loud enough that the CDC reassured people that the zombie apocalypse was not happening.

Similar incidents appeared in other countries, such as China.

Some people insist that the zombie word should only refer to the living dead, or undead, popularized by George Romero.

But semantics stop mattering when someone is in manic behavior in front of you … or busting into your home!

Reports of synthetic-Cathinone intoxication often described these traits:

Busted through—or tried to bust through—doors or windows, including impact-resistant windows,
Slammed their heads into barriers repeatedly,
Growled, drooled, and appeared wild-eyed,
Became violent; ran,
Stripped off their clothes,
Seemed unresponsive to pain and even gunshot wounds (GSW),
VERY BITEY!

The stimulant Cathinone zombie comparison echoes the movie 28 Days Later (2002).

The true-life behavior appeared to be the film’s Rage virus among what became known as “the infected.”

In 2012, the media leaned hard into the “real zombies” angle and repeatedly attributed wild incidents to bath salts, even when they weren’t …

including a man eating another man in Miami!

Showing no pain response whatsoever, a police officer had to keep firing at the cannibal attacker until fatal just to stop him … as Officer Mazy had to do in Book One.

But later reports noted a inconvenient complication:

in some cases labeled “bath salt” incidents, toxicology did not confirm synthetic Cathinones … or anything else to explain their behavior. This occurred with the “Miami cannibal” mentioned above.

From CNN

Psychiatrists described non-Cathinone provoked incidents as sudden “excited delirium” — an acute confusional state marked by paranoia, hallucinations, and violence toward objects and people.

But there has been no further explanation than that.

As quickly as the phenomenon surged into headlines, it faded.

The unanswered question—why some people appeared to erupt into excited delirium manic behavior that year—largely went with it.

Uh-oh!

That same cluster of symptomatic behaviors resembles the “furious” stage of lyssaviruses* in humans.

(*Lyssavirus is a virology term, and can be spelled as one word.)

Are the zombie drugs a cover for R140?

It could happen. It may have already begun!

Later Edition Notes

The newest zombie drugs to emerge differ from the synthetic Cathinones in behavior. Drugs with street names such as ‘tranq,’ as well street Fentanyl, cause users to fall asleep on their feet in a curled forward position, which is super bizarre to see.
