Fentanyl on the street is a growing concern across the United States and here in Utah. And although officials say there's no need for average Utahns to panic, it is still important to be aware of.
SALT LAKE CITY — Fentanyl on the street is a growing concern across the United States and here in Utah.“I haven’t heard about it in this area too much, but I feel like it’s been a very prevalent issue across the U.S., and I’m sure it’s spreading to Utah just like everything else is,” said Johnny Hansen, who has lived in the Salt Lake area for years along with his wife Anna."It's spooky.
The concern is that someone might not know they are taking fentanyl because it could be laced into a different drug. The U.S Drug Enforcement Agency reported that 4 out of every 10 pills with fentanyl contain a potentially lethal dose. Michael Moss with the Utah Poison Control Center said the general public doesn’t need to be as worried about being poisoned with fentanyl. For example, if you pick up a pain prescription at a pharmacy, those are regulated drugs and won’t be laced. The dangers are mainly isolated to the illegal drug market.
