The HSE has tonight issued a health warning after two people died in the last four days from the use of an ‘Ecstasy-like’ stimulant.
According to the Irish Times, the ‘Green Apple’ and ‘Green Rolex’ pills have also been implicated in a number of other deaths and hospitalisations in the last four weeks.
“Green Apple and Green Rolex (green pills with an apple or rolex symbol) appear have to been implicated in some of these incidents. Other stimulants indicated include cocaine, and amphetamines which in some circumstances have been taken in combination. Therefore, those who take drugs should be specifically warned of potential dangers linked to these substances or using drugs in combinations,” said a HSE spokesperson.
The physical signs that have presented are severe agitation, extremely rapid heart rate and extremely high temperature and people are advised not to use the drugs.
