The risks of so-called passive exposure to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl are overblown, according to medical experts and scientific studies.
A public service video from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department about the dangers of fentanyl — with footage of a deputy allegedly overdosing after brief exposure — has sparked a backlash and allegations that the anti-drug effort could harm the very people it’s meant to help: law enforcement officers and drug users.
The video ends with Sheriff Bill Gore warning that “being exposed to just a few small grains of fentanyl could have deadly consequences.” Most had heard stories either in the news, on social media or by word of mouth about first responders who had overdosed from touching the drug, the study said, but the symptoms allegedly endured in those episodes were more akin to panic attacks than to fentanyl poisoning.in the journal Clinical Toxicology in 2017 about preventing fentanyl exposure in emergency responders. It began with a caveat.
Then Crane picks up the narrative. “I ran over to him. He was OD‘ing. I went to my trunk, got out the Narcan,” Crane said, using the brand name for naloxone. “I did one nasal spray in one nostril. ... Another nasal spray in the other one.”Crane: “It’s an invisible killer. He would have died in that parking lot if he was alone.”Gore: “The dangers of fentanyl are real, and this drug is killing our communities.
