> Fentanyl is only dangerous if ingested; incidental contact is harmless. Bullshit. Your hand touches something that had fentanyl powder on it, your finger goes up your nose or in your mouth (most people in the world do this), then what?? Oh, nothing? >Making a comparison of how that would affect a person who has no tolerance is misleading fearmongering, when there was no indication that any person in this story was going to accidentally ingest the substance. I guess let's just ignore the problem, OP was being silly, there's nothing wrong here?? Is that really your line of thinking? What if the elderly person decided to open up one of the powder packages to see what kind of powder was in it, like if it had a smell or something, maybe it's chalk, maybe it's salt - they don't know. In that case they very likely would be dead. Inhaling it if grandpa did cut open one of the packages would likely kill anyone that entered the room. I've never seen anyone be so cavalier about 10 pounds of fentanyl before. |

Fentanyl is deadly in microgram doses, for it makes people stop breezing. Russians weaponized fentanyl into a gas and used it to disable Chechen terrorists in the Moscow theater hostage crisis in 2002 [0]. It was so effective that besides the terrorists some hostages died before an antidote could be administered.
