Casual Contact With Fentanyl Cannot Cause Overdose

On August 5th, the San Diego Police Department published a video to their Instagram site that corresponded with an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune. The article, headlined, “Deputy overdoses after coming into contact with fentanyl,” began to spread across social media. Users commented that the video showed “the dangers of fentanyl,” and that “more people need to be made aware.”
