That means that tiny amounts can cause a fatal overdose, they added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The mixing rations vary drastically by batch so users never know the real strength, police said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Police say you should not touch it and avoid skin exposure to unknown powdery substances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">An overdose includes these symptoms: stopped or shallow breathing; loss of consciousness; cold or clammy skin; pinpoint pupils; and blue lips\/fingertips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Call 911 immediately if you think that you or someone you know is having an overdose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You can also adminster Naloxone (Narcan). Repeated doses may be necessary because of the strength of the synthetic opioids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
