New Drug in Town Called “Carfentanil”

A new drug is in town called “carfentanil” which is so potent that it landed two first responders in the hospital.

Dear Medics, Police, and Firefighters. Please share this with your colleagues. If you find drugs on a patient, be extremely careful when handling them. A new drug is in town called “carfentanil” which is so potent that it landed two first responders in the hospital from inhaling dust while closing a ziplock bag a patient had. Expect people who OD to take 10x more Narcan to start breathing again. The picture compares the lethal amounts of heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanil.
