While the Miami police department continue to investigate what some are calling the most bizarre attack in South Florida’s history, Ronald Poppo’s, the victim of this horrific “Bath Salt” zombie attack, recovery may turn out to be just has bizarre and terrifying as his attack.

Viewer beware! You can see the gruesome photos HERE by GAWKER and Reddit, if the photos are even real; but, that isn’t the point here. Regardless if you see the photos or review the several videos of the attacks aftermath, Poppo’s nightmare continues.

According to psychologist, Dr. Clare Allely, there will be many psychological and social ramifications of the several facial reconstruction surgeries. Unfortunately, victim’s psychological effects won’t even be noticed until several surgeries later.

Some of the psychological effects that will most likely occur will be:

  1. Avoidance;
  2. Anxiety and low mood;
  3. Issues of identity and communication;
  4. Body image, sensation and shame; and,
  5. A variety of unique and other complex psychological issues.
