THE HSE has issued a new warning over the drug 25I-NBOMe, which it has warned is extremely potent and easy to overdose on.
25I-NBOMe, with a street name of ‘N-bomb’, was behind the hospitalisation of six people in Cork earlier this week.
It is also believed to have resulted in the hospitalisation of six students from a Dublin college in 2014.
An 18-year-old man remains in hospital fighting for life after consuming the drug.
The HSE has warned members of the public that the ‘N-bomb’ drug can have very serious side effects – especially when snorted as it becomes extremely potent.
Experts have warned that just one line of the drug snorted could prove lethal.
It has been linked to several deaths internationally.
The EU issued a warning on the increasing use of the drug in 2014.
