    That’s why they also spread the myth of fentanyl overdoses by incidental contact. They see an unknown substance, have a panic attack, and assume they’re OD’ing.

    Ask any paramedic… you really can’t OD from incidental skin contact with fentanyl.

      Who is they and why would they need to spread a myth that skin contact with fentanyl would cause an OD?

          Drug addicts would be the first to know skin contact with fentanyl doesn’t cause an OD so yeah not sure that’s the answer…

          But, even if they didn’t know I don’t see how drug addicts thinking skin contact with fentanyl causing an OD enables cops to abuse them more?
