Warning to clubbers over super-strong ecstasy pill after two deaths in a week

Clubbers are being warned about a super-strong ecstasy pill that is thought to have left many needing hospital and possibly two dead.

Dubbed "Blue Tesla" it is understood that the pill is a lethal cocktail of MDMA and cocaine with pills found in venues across London and Bristol.

The warning was issued after a 21-year-old man died after taking ecstasy pills at a club in Tottenham, north London, reports The Sun.

Two others at the same establishment were rushed to hospital however it is not known whether either of the three clubbers took "Blue Teslas".

It has been reported that dozens of people have needed medical attention after taking the worrying pills.

Bristol Council also sent out a strong message and confirmed that a person died after taking "recreational drugs" in the city.

In a tweet, the council team wrote: "On the first weekend of reopening, 20 people in Bristol needed emergency hospital treatment due to recreational drugs. One person died.

"There are dangerously high-strength recreational drugs in circulation. Be aware of the risks."

Such was the concern about excessively strong drugs that Christina Gray, director of public health in Bristol, also stepped in.

She said: "We’re becoming increasingly concerned about reports of a potentially lethal batch of drugs circulating in the city.

"It remains to be seen how widespread the issue is, however the recent hospitalisation of several people and the death of a young person over one weekend, suggests that this is not an isolated incident.

"Whilst I advise everyone against the use of illegal substances I urge anyone who intends to do so to take extra care and be aware of your friends and the help available to you.

"We’ve all waited a long time for the weekends to return, please don’t make it your last."
