Health experts: No, you can’t overdose just by touching fentanyl

No, you’re not going to overdose by accidentally touching a small amount of fentanyl, according to health experts.

There is a common misconception that if you touch fentanyl either by coming across a white powder or touching an object with fentanyl on it that you’ll overdose. Health experts are working to make it clear that this is not true.

“It is a common misconception that fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin, but it is not true for casual exposure. You can’t overdose on fentanyl by touching a doorknob or dollar bill. The one case in which fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin is with a special doctor-prescribed fentanyl skin patch, and even then, it takes hours of exposure,” said Daniel Colby, assistant professor and co-medical director for the Department of Emergency Medicine at UC Davis Health.

  1. I still don't shit in public toilets because the toilet seat might give me AIDS.

    Just like cops like playing proctologist with all their rubber gloves.

    1. This is true. When my arthritis is acting up I rub a fee drops into my well-washed hands and the pain and inflammation are gone right away.
      It's a shame what they did to the DMSO reputation in this country. It truly is a miracle drug.

    2. I used to work for an old rancher named Darrell D that did the same thing for his arthritic hands. Instant relief.

    3. I get the gel from Tractor Supply. Great stuff. Another long tome favorite is Absorbine Horse Linement. Works wonders on stiff muscles.

  7. And yet locally we have multiple cops on video collapsing? Guess this expert got fired from his job as COVID vax defender.
    As for doing CPR on a druggie, FUCK You. They made their choice and I've made mine.

    1. It's called hysteria. They've heard they can overdose with simple skin contact, so they act like it when they do touch it.
      Ask yourself this: how many of those multiple cops have died from an overdose after coming in contact with fentanyl ? None? What are the odds?

  8. Hysteria. Like opening fire on a cuffed suspect because an acorn fell on his cruiser.
