Even though the name is innocent, its effects are anything but. Bath salts, marketed under a variety of names such as Ivory Snow or Lightning, have been cited as contributing to death among users in record numbers this year.
“The innocent-sounding name of this dangerous chemical makes it particularly appealing to teens and young adults,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside
