DEA warns of a deadly ‘zombie drug’ — the facts behind the fear

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:04:57 GMT

AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- The Drug Enforcement Agency warned Texans of a drug emerging on the illicit market it said could be even more dangerous than fentanyl.Xylazine is a veterinary tranquilizer used to sedate large animals like horses. State and federal authorities say it is increasingly common to find in other drugs and, when combined with an opioid or fentanyl overdose, increases the chance of death. "It has very, very strong sedative effects. So it can really depress someone's heart rate, depress their breathing, you know, knock them out," Chris Van Deusen with the Texas Department of State Health Services said. "One issue that we have seen with xylazine is it is not an opioid, so it does not respond to treatment with Narcan or Naloxone, which is, of course, that first thing that a provider might try to reverse the effects of an opioid opioid dose."Sen. Chuck Schumer referred to it as a "zombie drug" because of the necrotizing ulcers it can leave after injection.How concerned shoul...

Timberwolves’ gripes with officiating continue

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:04:57 GMT

The Timberwolves made a concerted effort to dig into the officiating after the team’s 107-100 loss Wednesday in Phoenix, and the timing made sense from multiple perspectives.For Wolves coach Chris Finch, he had witness Phoenix bench boss Monty Williams complain about officiating the week prior, and noticed a perceived payoff in the form of the Suns’ 27 free throws — led by Devin Booker’s 15 — as opposed to Minnesota’s 12 in the game.“It works, because tonight they went to the line 27 times, we went to the line 12 times. So sitting up here and talking about it or whatever must’ve worked for them,” Finch told reporters postgame. “Because this is a team that doesn’t historically draw fouls at the rate they did tonight.”Ahead of the Timberwolves’ titanic home game Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers that has massive implications in the Western Conference playoff race, it couldn’t hurt to send a little message to the referees about Minnesota’s perceived slights.“The free-throw di...
