“Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered,” said Administrator Anne Milgram.

May 10, 2022 was the first ever National Fentanyl Awareness day. Its purpose is to inform the public and decrease this highly addictive drug that is driving the

Fentanyl overdose epidemic the nation is facing. From January 2021 to January 2022 there were 107,375 people in the United States to die from overdose; 67% of those included fentanyl.

Only 2 milligrams can be deadly. Many of those did not know that what they were taking had fentanyl mixed with it or on it. Only take pills prescribed for you personally and come from a pharmacy.
