May 7th, 2024, is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Fentanyl is an incredibly potent synthetic opioid. It poses grave danger to our youth. It’s crucial to understand its strength and the risks it carries. Fentanyl is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Even a tiny amount can be lethal. Fentanyl can also be found in counterfeit prescription drugs. This illicit form has led to a tripling of overdose deaths among teenagers in recent years. This crisis demands action, and education is key! Parents should talk to their kids about the dangers of fentanyl, and the risks of exposure. Preparation is vital to save lives. ● Know the signs of overdose ● Carry naloxone ● Use fentanyl test strips Understanding Virginia’s Good Samaritan law can encourage action in emergencies. This law protects the person who tries to help someone suspected of overdosing (under certain circumstances). If you see someone overdosing, call 911 immediately. If you or someone you know has a drug abuse problem, call 988. This crisis hotline provides for free and confidential support.
