Fentanyl poising deaths doubled in 30 states between 2019 and 2021, according to an analysis of U.S. government data.
"The fentanyl crisis is getting worse, not better. Fake pills with deadly amounts of fentanyl are popping up everywhere. It’s in fake Xanax and Percocets, it’s being laced in cocaine and ecstasy. A single pill can kill," Families Against Fentanyl founder James Rauh, who lost his son to fentanyl poisoning, said in a Thursday statement.
The synthetic opioid can be deadly even in very small amounts, and other drugs, including heroin, meth and marijuana, can be laced with the dangerous drug. Mexico and China are the primary sources for the flow of fentanyl into the United States, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
