How much does Orange County know about the dangers of fentanyl? We went out and asked people their thoughts. We educated them on how deadly it can be and prepared them to save a life with naloxone.
We asked people in Orange County what they think about fentanyl, and most agree it’s bad, dangerous, and deadly. How would you describe it?
We set up a little game to demonstrate the risks of taking illegal pills. Every 5 out of 10 pills tested by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) contain a deadly amount of fentanyl.
Would you take that chance?
Just 2mg (about 10 grains of sand) of fentanyl can be deadly. We asked people in Orange County if they could measure out a lethal dose of fentanyl with sand, some were shocked to see how small of an amount is lethal.
We took to the streets of Orange County to educate and spread awareness about the lifesaving drug naloxone.
Naloxone, also known by the brand names Narcan and Kloxxado, is a nasal spray that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and save a life.
