Treatment
In many cases, addiction to desomorphine results in having to amputate the part of your body that is affected. Amputation is the cutting off of a limb. Amputation costs range from $20,000 to $60,000 including fees, medical supplies, and anesthesia. If you can't pay for the amputation, you'll most likely end up dying since the effects of this drug are life threatening. This method is the only solution and always effective because you're basically cutting the infection off.

Song
St. Vincent
"Krokodil" (nickname for desomorphine)
Lyrics:
"I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil"
We think this song is about our drug because the song says "and when it starts to sting don't worry, gotta be clean" which probably references back to the condition your skin turns into when on desomorphine.
