Also known alternately by the slang names 'embalming fluid', 'fry', 'formaldehyde', 'wet', 'water', or 'amp,' PCP is a recreational, dissociative drug formerly used as an anesthetic agent, exhibiting hallucinogenic and neurotoxic effects.

National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) described the substance on its website as a synthetic drug sold as tablets, capsules, or white or colored powder, which can be snorted, smoked, or eaten.

For its effects, the website states that users can experience several unpleasant psychological effects, with symptoms mimicking schizophrenia (delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, extreme anxiety).

One very young person ever affected by this drug is the 1-year-old boy who tested positive for the drugs PCP and cocaine after his parents took him to a hospital in Chicago, as reported in multiple tabloid reports, citing Chicago police authorities.

Once the hospital contacted the police reporting a case of child abuse, investigators found "various drug paraphernalia" in the home of the little boys parent.

A report by Chicago Sun-Times says that family members discovered the baby was lethargic and the mom rushed the boy to Mount Sinai Hospital where after a series of tests doctors found the narcotics in his system, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said, citing preliminary information.

The good news is that the boy was reportedly in good condition and under observation at the hospital as of the day after the incident.

Drug addiction is a disease that affects more than the addicts. This article is an example of how far the suffering from drug addiction can reach.
