EMS, Police Responding to Spike in K2 Cases in Downtown Austin

    Since 7 a.m. Thursday, Austin-Travis County EMS have treated at least 28 people who experienced adverse reactions to the synthetic drug known as K2, Austin-Travis County EMS officials said. That’s not counting the people they treated for adverse K2 reactions Wednesday night, which is when medics started seeing a dramatic uptick in cases, officials said. “I don’t have an exact number (of patients) but I’m sure our department is going to get something out like dozens and dozens (of cases) between the last 48 hours,” EMS Cmdr. Mark Karonika said.
