In the coming weeks, the Saline County Health Department will be distributing naloxone (Narcan) to local businesses throughout Saline County.

Thanks to our partnership with the UMSL Addiction Science Team at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, we are able to provide Narcan free of charge. Our goal is to place this life-saving antidote in as many businesses as possible before the World Cup begins.

We hope it never has to be used—but if it is, it has the power to save a life.

If you are an individual or business interested in receiving Narcan, please stop by the Saline County Health Department Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

🚨 PSA: Don't fall for the "natural" hype.

We need to talk about 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine), a potent psychoactive compound being sold in gummies, candies and liquid shots that's marketed as a chill vibe. Spoiler alert: it's anything but.

This unregulated, synthetic derivative of kratom is opioid-like and seriously potent - we're talking up to 13 times stronger than morphine. Yeah, you read that right. THIRTEEN.

The Missouri Poison Center is reporting a spike in exposures: 47 reports of exposures involving kratom or 7-OH so far in 2025, which is nearly double the number from 2024. Three of those cases involved isolated 7-OH, with at least one requiring hospital evaluation. These products carry huge risks, including addiction, overdose and even death. Your well-being is worth more than a questionable convenience store candy. The advice is clear: avoid 7-OH products.

Symptoms of 7-OH exposure may include:
🚫 Nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal distress.
🚫 Anxiety, agitation, confusion and insomnia.
🚫 Rapid heart rate, high blood pressure and trouble breathing.
🚫 Seizures, unconsciousness and withdrawal symptoms.
🚫 Risk of overdose, especially when combined with alcohol or other sedatives.

Stay safe, friends, and remember: if a "remedy" is that potent, it's not a casual indulgence.
