Passenger whose body odour caused an emergency landing dies of necrosis
11 replies, posted
A plane on its way from the Spanish island of Gran Canaria to Amsterdam in the Netherlands had to make an emergency landing after one of its passenger’s body odour caused other travellers to vomit and faint.
Russian musician Andrey Suchilin’s odour had other passengers thinking he had poor hygiene and they were quickly overwhelmed by the rancid smell, with some people getting sick and others fainting, Metro UK reports. But it turns out he was suffering from a serious illness.
...
After being taken to hospital, doctors confirmed Andrey was suffering from gangrene, a form of necrosis where tissue starts to die due to a lack of blood flow to the infected area or because of bacterial infection.
In a Facebook post Andrey’s wife, Lidia, said her husband had sought medical attention before leaving Spain but was told it was just an “ordinary beach infection” and was administered antibiotics, Fox News reports. He went into a coma after several days in hospital and died a month later.

It sounds like he might have taken Krokodil, which is easily one of the most terrifying drugs ever created. It's a heroin substitute that causes exactly this sort of thing to happen; the body begins rotting rapidly like a dead body on fast forwards.
Don't bother Googling it, either, the pictures are NSFL.
I can understand the strong reaction to the smell now. Eugh, imagine breathing in that air being recycled.
What an awful way to go in this age of medicine

The man before the illness took him. Another source's title (though no reference in the main text) says it was a bacterial "bug" of some kind.
Necrotic-type bacteria exist on your skin at all times, and we have a resistance to many of them. However, more than a few types are brutally lethal to humans, and can enter through even the slightest break in the skin. When they get through, their onset is incredibly rapid.
Krokodil is far from the only source of necrosis, and almost all cases of necrosis with krokodil are a result of tissue damage as a result of the drug, and Krokodil as you may know it is a pseudo-opiate cooked up from a variety of chemicals, it has no real set formula.
Really? "He's Russian therefore it must be krokodil". You're an idiot if you think that's the only way to get a horrible necrotic infection.
I recognize that Krokodil is not the only way to get an infection like this, it's just that that's what first popped into my head.
Sorry if I sounded ignorant.
Krokodil is just clandestinely manufactured desomorphine that heroin junkies make from over the counter codeine in order to get a quick fix or to make a quick buck. Desomorphine itself doesn't cause necrosis, it's a rather safe opioid (when used properly, anyway) that's used medicinally in a few countries in Europe, it's the corrosive compounds which often aren't removed from the final product that causes users to start falling apart like a rotting cabbage when they IV it. So technically it's not really even krokodil that makes people's arms fall off, it's red phosphorous and whatever else they use that causes necrosis, which shouldn't really come at a surprise to anyone.
Anyway, holy shit that's not what I was expecting. I figured he just shat himself. That really sucks and is a huge failing on the doctor's part. I bet they feel awful.
My fucking god, poorly-made Krokodil has phosphorous in it?! That's more horrifying than I ever could've imagined.
oh no the chemical essential to any life is in our foods noooooo!
Phosphorous as with many things only kills you if you took a bullet made from it, or you ingest a non-common sense level of it.
People with poor circulation can get gangrene - it's fairly common with diabetics and the elderly and I highly doubt an elderly krokodil addict had the means to go to Spain on vacation.
I really don't know about you people sometimes.
