Ep. 25 - Narcan't Believe It's Not a Fentanyl Overdose w/Zach Siegel
Description
For whatever reason, there's an epidemic sweeping this nation that only seems to affect police officers. The slightest contact with fentanyl causes our boys (and girls) in blue to overdose and then make cable news appearances. Recent bodycam footage of a Florida police officer requiring three doses of Narcan in order to be resuscitated made national news, but medical consensus says that the drug just doesn't work like that. On this episode we talk to journalist Zach Siegel about how fentanyl finds its way into other drugs, why Mexican cartels aren't trying to trick our children into buying fent-laced candy and the mass psychogenic illness of police overdoses.
