BELLEVUE, Wash. — Washington state health officials are noticing an alarming increase in overdose cases related to fentanyl in recent months compared to this time last year.
Health officials said in a news release Tuesday that cases are reaching record-breaking levels and are now urging people to carry naloxone, a drug that reverses the effects of opioid overdoses, if they plan on taking illicit drugs.
Yes indeed. Because druggies are paragons of foresight and planning, this approach is bound to succeed. Who knew?
