‘This Is Out There’: Texas School District Fights Fentanyl With Narcan In the Nurse’s Office

OK you guys. Just do what the Brandon administration tells you to do

Follow the science.

You won't go wrong by keeping it off your skin, thats for sure.

My point, and probably my fault for poor communication, is you're not dealing with pharmaceutical grade fentanyl outside a hospital. The chemicals used to make and cut it very likely will open the pores on your skin allowing for much faster absorption not to mention exposure to moist membranes or open skin.

Once in there even if you wash the site what's in there isnt coming off. You also have no clue as to th ere potency or strength of what your dealing with.

In the ER you might get a hundred micrograms an hour for acute pain. You could be exposed to 1000 micrograms of fentanyl in a tiny bit of powder or even liquid you cant see. If you dont recognize this you will die without intervention.

Narcan can save not only your life but your loved ones. Think of how many people use in bathrooms and die thus contaminating the bathroom with fentanyl? Why do we carry? Think of narcan in your first aid kit that way.

Are you saying drug free zone is being disregarded?

I've got mixed thinking about narcan to treat fentanyl over dosers.

If someone's a drug addict and 'keeps OD-ing', my attitude is let em die, that's what they want.

If someone 'isn't' a drug addict and gets contaminated with fentanyl, then yes, of course save them.

But, how do you distinguish who's a junkie and who isn't...?

On some of the cop shows, it seems a constant that cops are expected to save junkie's from their own stupid actions.

What a weird conundrum...

I guess in some instances, the cops who revive a junkie with narcan, might ask: First OD?

If yes, that's the last time we save your bacon.

OD again and we'll just take you to the morgue...

No narcan for you!

Had a friend.. his kid pushed a McD bag over so he could sit down on the school bus... got stuck by a contaminated needle in it... now has Hep-B forever. Guess who got harassed?

“The effort comes after the district lost three students to fentanyl overdoses in the past month, Superintendent Eric Wright said in a video on the website.”

I am the Corporate Safety Manager of a large food processing plant. I recently had the Chief of Police bring us by 2 dozen doses of Narcan and a video on how to properly use it. Luckily we have not had to do so. It's good to know that there is something out there that can combat drug overdoses such as Fentanyl, especially since the closest EMS station is 15min away and the closest hospital is 20min away.

How has it come to this. I feel sorry for today's parents.

Indeed.

I feel blessed my children are not in school these days.

At the same time, I so often find myself worrying about the country they are being left with.

Current media reports would make me think that a Narcan kit on my belt is more likely to be needed than my tourniquet.

The truth is, depending on your daily life and profession, they are probably equally useful. Meaning that like the other edc stuff, gun knife, you have with you every day you will probably never have to use it.

But that's not why you carry that stuff is it.

If you do need it the life you save could very well be your own or someone important to you. Regardless you will be glad you have it.

I'd like to have it on my belt but when I got a doctor to write a prescription for me the stuff cost over $1000 at my local CVS. Of course, if someone were to just give it to me like this...

I recently had the Chief of Police bring us by 2 dozen doses of Narcan and a video on how to properly use it.

...I would definitely have it on me every time I left the house.

In my entire life I've only been on the scene when that stuff was needed one time. That was enough to convince me it was worth carrying.

Just checked GoodR for narcan..

"I'm responsible" for a drug addict's life threatening choices?

Or, are we talking about someone 'accidentally' getting poisoned with Fentanyl and we could help save a life?

I would be interested in helping an innocent that has been accidentally or inadvertently exposed. But those that popped a faux pill or got a bad batch of heroin.... too bad for you! Stupid people can die as far as I am concerned. Weed them out of the gene pool early. My kid, your kid/grandkid, I don't care!!!

Yah yah, I know... people say kids will do stupid things. Well, so did I. And I almost died several times from doing stupid things in cars, with the police chief's daughter, being in places I shouldn't be late at night, etc. I survived thru luck. Why should today's young miscreants be any different???
