Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid more powerful than morphine, is commonly found in unregulated drugs, as it is cheap to make and easily mixed or “cut” into drugs. It can be found in heroin or cocaine or formed into “pills” that are sold on the street in the disguise of other substances such as MDMA, alprazolam, oxycodone, and others. Because of this, many users are unaware of the composition of drug they are taking or whether it contains traces of fentanyl. This lack of knowledge can be deadly; fentanyl is responsible for an increasing number of drug overdoses.
DEA Lab testing revealed that 6 out of every 10 Pills with fentanyl, contain a potentially Lethal Dose. Fentanyl Test Strips Is like looking for a needle in a haystack, in regard to a test strip showing positive for fentanyl.
The high degree of structural similarity between fentanyl and these fentanyl analogs can be seen in Additional file 1: Fig.S1). The two lots from 2017, 082 and 004, also detected sufentanil, while the three 2021 lots did not. None of the five lots detected alfentanil or U-47700 at any concentration, with these two synthetic opioids and sufentanil having more significant structural differences from fentanyl and the other analogs (see Additional file 1: Fig.S1).Fig. 1
We believe in our research which showed on police body cam footage that you do not need to swallow a pill for it to be deadly. DEA Chemist personal use a face Masks, protective clothing and other protective measures when handling illicit drugs.
