Fentanyl Safety
I can personally attest to this post. I am a retired Registered Nurse who worked in Critical Care for 32 years and routinely use injectable Fentynal. Over those years, I have been exposed to Fentynal with zero ill effects. Powdered Fentynal may be a different situation due to inhalation dangers but PPE would prevent this.

The overdose happens when the patient doesn’t fully understand the risk of misuse and when there are mistakes in drug administration. Failure to recognize variations in opioid formulations can lead to inappropriate treatment decisions.
