A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

One reason that Florida arguably appeals to this segment of the population is that its temperate weather can be more pleasant for vintage bodies. However, a new study has found that life expectancy varies slightly between Florida's counties. And the county with the best life expectancy in one study - Collier - was home to a Florida city - Naples - that has been called the best place to live in the nation.
