The Deadly Impact of Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid that is the leading cause of death among people aged 18 to 45. It is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. The alarming aspect is that even touching a small amount of fentanyl can be lethal. Despite its lethal effects, fentanyl is FDA approved for pain relief, which raises questions about the evaluation process of the FDA. The podcast also highlights a tragic incident where an 18-month-old baby died after accidentally ingesting fentanyl in an Airbnb. The prevalence of fentanyl-related deaths is increasing steadily, and it is crucial for people to be informed about its dangers.
