“A sugar packet – if that was filled with Fentanyl is enough to kill hundreds of people.” (Sgt. Zachary Dunagan, Salinas Police Department). Someone purchasing medications without a prescription and other illegal substances may be buying Fentanyl and they won’t know it. What makes overdoses a growing issue with purchasing illegal substances is the inconsistency in how Fentanyl is mixed into these products. Some pills or packets may contain minimal Fentanyl while others may have deadly amounts. There is a rise in youth overdoses related to Fentanyl, and Sgt. Dunagan shares important information on why it’s so deadly, Narcan, and why it’s important to call 9-1-1 immediately if someone is overdosing even if Narcan has been given.
