The news report I read said nothing about the face-eating part... This only reinforces that I should get my news from here I guess.

Before the silly Zombie craze, one would just assume this to be the doings of good ol' PCP. Especially in Miami.

perp was heard moaning "brains..... BRAINS..." Before he was shot.
I read another article that said he ate the nose, and eyeballs of the victim... Along with 75% of his face.

I would believe that if we were in a "28 Days later" type of zombie scenario.

I think the TV show, "The Walking Dead" explains it much better than most other movies and games.
Virus/infection/parasite/bacteria that essentially finds its way into the spinal column, works its way up to the brain, overheats its victim (fever). Kills them, then restarts the brain and uses only basic functions of the brain to get the body up, moving and able to use the basic functions such as eye sight, smell, hearing and mobility.

I think I read somewhere they're saying LSD.
But then it just becomes depressing reality as opposed to whimsical speculation

That's what you get for going with the alternatives.

Thats seriously messed up. We have had a few incidents blamed on [insert what ever it is you do with bath salts] bath salts and totally freaking out. One closest to here was last year or so and the teenage girl went apecrap and stabbed her 4 year old step sister to death and then went after her mom.

We know, for example, that these products often contain various
amphetamine-like chemicals, such as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MPDV),
mephedrone and pyrovalerone. These drugs are typically administered
orally, by inhalation, or by injection, with the worst outcomes
apparently associated with snorting or intravenous administration.
Mephedrone is of particular concern because, according to the United
Kingdom experience, it presents a high risk for overdose. These
chemicals act in the brain like stimulant drugs (indeed they are
sometimes touted as cocaine substitutes); thus they present a high abuse
and addiction liability. Consistent with this notion, these products
have been reported to trigger intense cravings not unlike those
experienced by methamphetamine users, and clinical reports from other
countries appear to corroborate their addictiveness. They can also
confer a high risk for other medical adverse effects. Some of these may
be linked to the fact that, beyond their known psychoactive ingredients,
the contents of "bath salts" are largely unknown, which makes the
practice of abusing them, by any route, that much more dangerous. |

I guess since they're in MIami the punchline should be:
"No thanks, I just had some Cuban."

And this is why the news needs to do a better job, there are WAY too many people that believe this.
Bath Salts is the slang term for mephedrone and other sketchy similar designer drugs. It's just like calling cannabis trees or grass. It's not lawn clippings, it's just what people call it. Same with bath salts, these are NOT the epsom salts and such you'd be buying at the drug store/ corner store. This is a designer drug apparently similar to PCP and ecstasy, just colloquially known as bath salts. However I'm sure it's just a matter of time until idiot kids try to smoke/ inject real bath salts and we'll see what that does.

Baths salts is more than a slang term. They are called bath salts because they are sold as bath salts to bypass regulation. States are behind on getting the substances banned, and companies are making them as bath salts so they can be sold legally. It's the same method that K2/Spice was sold as incense legally.(Edit Or at least that's how the name got started, I haven't looked to see if they are legal in FL or not)

They're still not actually bath salts.

No they aren't. They are a substance that has no history being used as a bath salt. They ARE however marketed and sold as such.
And then snorted.

I'd be willing to bet bath salts were attributed to incidents like this because the drug itself had been proven to cause serious issues in the past.
Oddly enough we had a crazy come into the hospital a few weeks back acting bizarre and telling us he had done bath salts but tested positive for weed and nothing else. Weird stuff.

Bath salts were a logical assumption based on the reporting officers experience I'm sure. Its not like he was new. Also probably attributable to the fact that humans feel a need to try and find a reason or catalyst for such bizarre behaviour. I think it unhinges a lot of people to think that some people are bat crap crazy enough to actually do something like this without some sort of mind altering drug.
