Florida Police Officer Collapses After Possible Fentanyl Exposure.
Police officers have certainly one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. They deal with criminals on a daily basis, often putting their lives on the line. So why must they also worry about Fentanyl exposure?
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 100 times more potent than morphine. It is often used as a painkiller for cancer patients or to help manage severe pain. However, it is also used recreationally, and has been linked to a growing number of overdose deaths.
Today, fentanyl exposure is a real danger for police officers. The drug can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled, and just a small amount can be fatal. In fact, there have been several cases of police officers overdoses after coming into contact with Fentanyl.
The best way to protect police officers from Fentanyl exposure is to provide them with the proper training and equipment. They should be taught how to properly handle the drug and how to protect themselves if they come into contact with it.
