WKTO 88.9FM Daytona Beach The warning from the U.S. government is chilling. It says fentanyl, which was once considered the “deadliest drug threat” in the US, has now been replaced by a new drug called xylazine which the DEA considers even deadlier.

It’s being called the deadliest drug threat in the country.
Now the DEA is warning Americans. It’s nicknamed the “zombie drug,” and it’s already shown up in Central Florida.
“We actually have three cases here in central Florida,” Seminole County medical director Todd Husty said.
According to Husty, lab tests done by the state show it has made its way to central Florida, and in all cases, mixed in with fentanyl.
“One (case) in 2018. Two in 2022. One seems to be Apopka, and the other seems to be Seminole County. There is a lag time in the testing, so there could be more since then,” Husty said.
The potent sedative has a couple of street names like tranq, and the most telling, the zombie drug because it is legally used by veterinarians on big animals.
PLEASE KEEP CENTRAL FLORIDA IN PRAYER
