Yep.

There is a guy in Australia who is pumping it hard. He ships to the USA.

You get sketch looking vials of red liquid, with a melted ice pack (who knows when that stopped keeping it cold) that your meant to inject. Not knowing where it was made, how clean the environment was, or what is even in it.

A lot of people showing up in emergency from taking it.
