May 16, 2024 – The city has begun offering wound care at the center, residents say they were told at the meeting. Some suggest that could indicate they’re treating people with wounds caused by the use of the powerful sedative xylazine, which can cause skin-rotting sores. … In recent weeks, residents tell Axios, security and police presence has increased near the facility, and that a fence was installed around the building’s rear perimeter. They say they’ve also noticed an increase in trash and drug paraphernalia around the building, as well as people who appear under the influence.
