Krokodil, a Russian homecooked alternative to heroin made from codeine pills, iodine, lighter fluid, and some other industrial chemicals, has a nasty side effect: it rots the users flesh right off their bones.
Here's a link with some NSFW videos of the users coming in for amputations:

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it:
"Abuse of home-made desomorphine has since spread throughout Russia and the neighboring former Soviet republics. The drug is easily made from codeine, iodine and red phosphorus in a similar process to the manufacture of methamphetamine from pseudoephedrine, but desomorphine made this way is highly impure and contaminated with various toxic and corrosive byproducts. Since this mix is routinely injected immediately with little or no further purification, "Krokodil" has become notorious for producing severe tissue damage and gangrene, sometimes requiring limb amputation, in long-term users."
