Bath Salts Overdoses Decline

{Charleston, West Virginia}…Dr. Elizabeth Scharman, director of the West Virginia Poison Control Center, says West Virginia has seen a decline in overdoses from bath salts since a law making the drug's ingredients illegal went into effect last year. Forty-three cases were reported in 2012, compared to 250 in 2011. Scharman says the number of cases fell significantly during the last four months of the year. Thirty-one of last year's cases were reported before the end of August.
