Fentanyl is a dangerous drug, which can cause overdoses in anyone using it to self-medicate. The use of fentanyl is also hazardous to human health, because it is very toxic indeed, and can suppress neurons that control respiration in the human body. For that reason, people who overdose on fentanyl can stop breathing, which can be fatal. Fentanyl can be sold illegally, and it can contain other concoctions which are “cut” with illicit other drugs or household products, to create a lethal combination which can provide an overdose to anyone using this drug bought illegally.
Why Do People Use Fentanyl?
Fentanyl is used to “get high” or to self-medicate for pain, and if it is not prescribed by a medical professional and is bought on the streets, it is an illegal use of the drug. Fentanyl is used by the medical community to treat pain, but it is considered up to 50 times more potent than heroin, and up to 100 times more toxic than morphine.2 For the people using the street or illegal version of fentanyl, it is often created synthetically, where there are no caps or standards as to how it is made illegally. For people who are abusing opioids, the street version of fentanyl can lead to an easy overdose and often death, as a result of taking a too high dosage of the synthetic drug in the person’s body. The illegal fentanyl that is made in an illicit lab is called illegally-made non-pharmaceutical fentanyl, and there is no telling what dangerous and hazardous compounds are in these types of illegal concoctions.2

Children and Teenagers at Summer Camp Should Not Use Nor Have Access to Fentanyl, Drugs or Any Other Dangerous Substances
Children and teenagers who attend summer camp are given the rules and regulations before they go, that they are not permitted to bring in and use any illegal substances such as drugs. That means that children are not permitted to possess any alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs while at camp. If a child overdoses on fentanyl at camp, then there is an issue that the camp has not supervised the children and teens enough, to allow this type of behavior to occur at the camp premises. The owners of the camp have a custodial relationship with the campers, and the owners, camp administrators and camp counselors need to keep a consistent and current watchful eye on all campers, to prevent anyone from overdosing on an illegal drug while at camp.
