KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. - A new drug is hitting the streets of Western Washington, and authorities say it poses an extreme danger to children.
Narcotics agents in Kitsap County recently busted a street dealer for selling ecstasy, and found more than they bargained for. Along with the ecstasy they found BZP. The drug is a knock-off of the drug ecstasy and it can be fatal in children.
Deputies say it was hard to recognize because it looked much more like candy than an illegal drug
"They had no clue as to what these pills were," said Deputy Scott Wilson, of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
BZP goes by the street names of "Benny," "Frenzy" and “Nemesis.” The pills are shaped like cartoon characters, including Bart Simpson and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you didn’t know better, you’d probably think there were Flintstones vitamins.

BZP pills are designed to look like popular cartoon characters, including Bart Simpson and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
This raises the obvious concerns of children coming across the drugs and eating them.
"It looks like something that could be put out in a candy dish and you would take a handful and eat it," said Sgt. Carlos Rodriguez of the Kitsap County Narcotics Office.
BZP's origins as a recreational drug can be traced back to California in the early 1990s.
It has grown increasingly popular in the Northwest because of its cheap price and wide availability in Canada
