CHICAGO (WLS) -- Seventy-four people have overdosed on heroin in the past 72 hours, Chicago officials said.
The bad batch of heroin may have been laced with the painkiller Fentanyl, officials said. Doctors at Stroger Hospital are alarmed because the standard treatment for heroin overdoses isn't immediately working.
Dr. Tarlan Hedayati at Stroger Hospital is alarmed because the standard treatment for heroin overdoses isn't immediately working.
"Typically if it's given by the paramedics, we may not need to give it again in the emergency department. But we're noticing we were giving more in the emergency department to these patients," Dr. Hedayati said.
The DEA is helping police try to track down the source of the bad batch of drugs.
Please be safe out there, y'all.

Everyone should work together to eradicate Fent and its analogs from this planet. Most would agree its way worse then black tar heroin (which is weird to say)

Pretty alarming, because heroin is illegal and unregulated dangerous cocktails like these will kill people unnecessarily. I hope the popular culture won't take 100 years to change its mind about the medical problem that is drug abuse and overdose. People shouldn't be outraged by fentanyl or heroin people should be outraged at the policies and criminal laws that allow pseudo-heroin fentanyl to be bought sold and used on the streets with no oversight.

I don't even know you and I love you. Imagine the people who do know you. Give yourself a fucking hug for me and jerk off in the mirror. If you'd fuck you, who wouldn't. You can do this.

Article is great advertisement for some drug dealer out there, assuming he doesn't get arrested which would be ridiculous if they couldn't trace it back to someone.
What conditions require fentanyl that another opiate couldn't handle? I'm sure there is some reason as i believe every drug has it's place, but i just can't see why someone needs to be doped out on something so potent, for so long.

This is the attitude that caused 74+ ODs.
Its NOT heroin, Fentanyl is an analog, and its not real heroin/diacetylmorphine (sure is a real opioid though, but its as potent as lsd, whereas heroin is not that potent, so it ends up killing people who just expect regular heroin.
People should reagent test their dope. I know that def wont be the predominant case (at all) but it can really save lives. Then again, if someone is going through w/d, are they gonna hold back because their mecke is giving a slightly-off reaction? (You can differentiate between H and Fent with reagents)
Probably not. Withdrawal is such a bitch.

My idiot friend almost died 3 months ago with fet laced H.
I am all for oxycodone, prescription where I know what I am taking. And because of its cost and scarcity Its a rare occasion. People have to be smarter than the drug addiction to be able to do drugs forever.

Again, thank the war on drugs.. Just like when there was prohibition on booze, people drank moonshine and grain alc. because the goal was to produce the strongest product with the least volumn for transport. If they end the war the issue is resolved, Fentanyl has its place as a pain med but when extracted and added to H when the users arent expecting it they are doomed.
