Myths of Fentanyl Exposure

There are a lot of misconceptions concerning the dangers of Fentanyl to first responders who come in contact with it. Despite sensationalized media coverage reporting to the contrary, overdosing from touching and/or inhaling Fentanyl powder is not possible. In this video I will show you the research on Fentanyl and do my best to bust some of the myths surrounding this potent opiate.

Most of my information is taken from my own experience, the American College of Medical Toxicology’s position statement on Fentanyl exposure and Dr. Steve Carroll’s podcast EM Basic (links to all below).
