Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is driving overdose deaths across the country—and it’s impacting communities of all sizes.
⚠️ What you should know:
• Fentanyl is up to 50–100 times stronger than morphine
• Just one pill can be deadly
• It is often mixed into other drugs without a person’s knowledge
• You cannot see, smell, or taste it
💔 Why this matters:
Many people who overdose didn’t know they were taking fentanyl. It only takes a very small amount to cause life-threatening breathing problems within minutes.
👨👩👧 It can affect anyone—teens, adults, and families in every community.
✅ How you can help:
• Talk to your kids and loved ones about the risks
• Never take medications that are not prescribed to you
• Be aware of the signs of an overdose
• Carry Naloxone (Narcan) if it’s available to you
