Fentanyl Education Resources

Why Is It Dangerous?

Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid, significantly more powerful than morphine and heroin, posing severe risks even in minuscule amounts. Accidental exposure can lead to rapid respiratory depression, overdose, and death, making it a critical public health concern. Education about fentanyl is essential to prevent accidental poisonings and overdoses. By increasing awareness of its dangers, recognizing signs of exposure, and understanding safe handling and cleanup procedures, we can better protect individuals and communities from the devastating effects of fentanyl.
