Health unit advises drug users to be wary of unknown dangerous substances being added to supply of street drugs
Another warning has been issued about the possibility of unexpected dangerous substances in the street drugs in Sudbury.
The Community Drug Strategy which is made up of several local agencies including Public Health Sudbury and District , has issued a warning that there has been an increase in the number of overdoses among users of street drugs. This has happened several times previously in the past few years. "While we cannot confirm the substance causing the overdoses, this situation serves as an important reminder to the community that street drugs may be cut or mixed with substances such as benzos , fentanyl, or carfentanil. Front-line workers warn that more toxic substances may be circulating locally," said a statement from the drug strategy group.
The warning continued that an overdose can occur when a person uses a substance and their body is unable to handle the effects. "As a result, the brain is unable to control basic life functions. The person might pass out, stop breathing or experience a seizure. Overdoses can be fatal," said the statement.-Avoid mixing drugs, including prescribed, over the counter, and illegal drugs.-Use caution when switching substances: start with a lower dose than you usually would.-Have a trusted person with you when you use drugs who can provide support as needed.-Connect with the National Overdose Response Service at 1.
