An Alabama mother is urging health officials to ban a toxic supplement sold in gas stations, after her 19 year-old son died after taking it to ease his migraine.
Johnathon Morrison, from Trafford, Alabama, fatally choked on his own vomit in February 2019 after taking pills containing tianeptine – otherwise known as ‘gas station heroin’.
The Food and Drug Administration has previously warned about the grave harms of the substance, which is most commonly found in an energy-boosting’ product called Neptune‘s Fix.
