How many times do I have to say that you can’t overdose by touching fentanyl? Addiction medicine/ harm reduction experts spending time trying to whack-a-mole dangerous myths that media and police put out that ultimately could harm people who use drugs
@DrKimSue
Waste of time expressing outrage at the “fentanyl touch” issue when 10s of thousands are dying by ingesting fentanyl by other means. A focus on effective strategies to prevent, treat, rescue, recover, reduce supply solves major problems.
@DrKimSue
Psychologically, though, the Police would want people who use drugs to be harmed, as it proves they are good. The Police, I mean. If the drugs were good and the Police took them away, the Police would be bad. Slovenia is a local country for local people.

Um hi?! I’m one of those people who was harmed by handling fentanyl. Cracked open a glass vial of Fent for a procedure and cut my thumb with the part that broke off. Hurt like motherf, may have shed a little tear inside….
@DrKimSue
I’ve legit exploded IV fentanyl all over myself trying to spike a bottle of it (they changed our bottles so they don’t spike the same 🤦♀️) and was perfectly fine 💁♀️
@DrKimSue
You are being irresponsible, doctor, in an attempt to show everyone how smart you are. A medical professional handling it will have gloves on. But, if an addict is “touching” fentanyl with mucous membranes, you certainly are incorrect, and in a potentially deadly way. Reported.
@DrKimSue
I watched a cop on TV freak out saying he touched it and would die. The perp was saying it was meth but the cop was on the ground freaking out. They used narcan to "save" him. Other cop tested the powder...meth. It was crazy to see the bad acting.

Street Fentanyl is NOT True Fentanyl! Fentanyl Patches worked Very well for My Pain but now my Dr is afraid to prescribe them due to the Fentanyl SCARE! It's called CARFENTANYL & it's BATHTUB Chemistry made huge metal Buckets OUTSIDE in Mexico!!
