The HSE have issued two Public Health alerts in relation to Ecstasy like substances that have been linked to a number of deaths across Ireland.
While investigations are still ongoing, there is sufficient evidence available to recommend that people do not take these substances or if their friends are in possession of these that they should not be consumed.
Green Apple / Green Rolex & other stimulants:
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.
Double Cross / Double Black:
This is also an Ecstasy type substance implicated in the death of one man and the serious illness of four others in Donegal.
