The leading U.S. cause of death for those under the age of 45? An opioid overdose.
Many of you may know that one of this blog's former writers passed away earlier this year from an overdose - supposedly fentanyl. We doubt that there's anyone out there who doesn't know someone who has lost his/her life to either an opiate or opioid overdose.
While we may not be able to convince someone to give up harmful drugs, we can help ensure that those who overdose can be saved. The answer is naloxone, a drug sold under the name of Narcan. In this state, private individuals are entitled to receive Narcan for free, thus helping to save lives.

So sad the law will let you get a free narcan kit with little training. But, if it is the same as it used to be. An EMT basic could not give an Epi Penn to someone having an allergic reaction. You could only assist them.
ReplyDeleteBut no let's make it to save this person who most likely chose to take the drug. Yes, the world we live in anybody could be in need of it.
But make it just as easy for a EMT or a first responder to give an Epi Penn, too.
