More people in Belgium are arriving at clinics with serious lesions in their noses amid rising cocaine consumption, doctors say. The ear nose and throat (ENT) clinic of Liège's University Hospital Centre (CHU) often sees patients with nasal obstruction. Cocaine can cause blood vessels to narrow in the nose which can damage tissue. This can lead to perforations in the mucose membrane and the cartilage. “There is damage to both the mucus membrane and cartilage so to the nasal septum, which is affected, as well as the internal structures,” said Dr Sophie Tombu, a doctor at the ENT clinic at Liège...

Tom Hird, a marine biologist, and Tracy Fanara, an environmental scientist from the University of Florida, observed sharks al...

Police in the southern German region of Bavaria just wrapped up the hilariously-named “Operation Snow Melt,” during which they incinerated 1.65 tons of cocaine reportedly worth 270 million euros ($304 million).

One bust in Bavaria saw supermarket employees finding a total of 440 pounds of drugs hidden in banana crates among 10 different stores. Perhaps the Bavarian police are trying to set an example in response to a smugg...
