While the name implies a harmless little luxury, bath salts are being used for something completely different than soaking a bath.

“Bath salts” have become the latest illegal drug to capture the nation’s attention after a chilling episode in Miami, in which the drug may have been to blame for causing 31-year-old Rudy Eugene to eat the face of Ronald Poppo, 65.

And now that there have been numerous accounts of people fatally overdosing on bath salts, the Drug Enforcement Agency has taken action to ban the drug as well as the sale of chemicals used to make it.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), bath salts typically contain amphetamine-like chemicals, such as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MPDV), mephedrone and pyrovalerone. The drug is typically taken orally, through inhalation or by injection, the last two frequently pertaining to the worst outcomes for users.
