Named after a part of Lake Michigan, Green Bay, Wisconsin is the seat of Brown County, but it's probably best known as the home to the Green Bay Packers. The famous football team was founded in 1919 and has since then made its home city proud, winning 12 NFL championships and 4 Super Bowls! But sadly, in recent times Green Bay has become synonymous with things far more nefarious than football.
Much like the rest of the United States, the city of Green Bay has been battling the wave of opioid addiction laying waste to its citizens, and since those citizens usually graduate from pills to heroin, the city's been battling that too. But now there's something else to worry about. Now Green Bay is seeing a spike in deaths from a synthetic opioid roughly 50 times stronger than heroin: fentanyl.
Fentanyl comes in many forms, including pills and powder, and it's often mixed with heroin. Dealers add fentanyl into their heroin to make their valuable stash stretch further (thereby making more profit) and the result is a totally unregulated street product with no way for addicts to know for sure how much heroin or fentanyl may be in each does. Just two milligrams of fentanyl is enough to kill most people.
Because a small dose of Fentanyl is so incredibly powerful, seizures can also be extremely dangerous for police, as officers can become very sick simply by being exposed to it during a search. They now have to take extra precautions like wearing hazmat suits during searches and carrying Narcan (also known as Naloxone) to counteract overdoses. We can only hope that their current efforts, combined with ever changing drug legislation may be able to stem the tide.
