Show Notes
Kratoms surging popularity for pain relief and opioid withdrawal is raising serious concerns. The CDC reports a staggering 1200% increase in poison control calls, from 258 in 2015 to 3434 last year. The FDA warns of risks like liver damage, seizures, and addiction. Use is climbing across all ages, with men making up two-thirds of solo kratom cases and three-quarters when mixed with other substances. States are responding with bans, and lawmakers are pushing for stricter regulations. Experts urge caution as high-potency versions flood the market.
